am usina text block in usercontrol, but am sending value to textblock from other form, when i pass some value it viewed in textblock, but i need to convert the number to text. so i used converter in textblock. but its not working

 <TextBlock Height="21" Name="txtStatus" Width="65" Background="Bisque" TextAlignment="Center" Text="{Binding Path=hM1,Converter={StaticResource TextConvert},Mode=OneWay}"/>

converter class

class TextConvert : IValueConverter

{

    public object Convert(object value, Type targetType, object parameter, CultureInfo culture)

    {



        if (value != null)

        {

            if (value.ToString() == "1")

            {

                return value = "Good";



            }

            if (value.ToString() == "0")

            {

                return value = "NIL";



            }



       }

        return value = "";

    }

    public object ConvertBack(object value, Type targetType, object parameter, CultureInfo culture)

    {

        return (string)value;

    }



}

is it right? whats wrong in it??

ok I think I know what the problem is - let see if I can define it for you :)

in your xaml file where you want to use TextConvert, define Resource for it (unless you are doing it already, then I haven't a clue why its not working)

    <Grid.Resources>

        <Shared:TextConvert x:Key="TextConvertKey" />

    </Grid.Resources>

shared being the xmlns ofcourse.

Then in the textbox use it like:

Text="{Binding Path=hM1,Converter={StaticResource TextConvertKey},Mode=OneWay}"/>

EDIT:

If you set a breakpoint in the converter class, does the debugger go in there?????

EDIT 2:

am using like this voodoo

local:HealthTextConvert x:Key="TextConvert"

This is absolutely wrong. How can you Call it HealthTextConvert when the converter name is TextConvert???

it should be

local:TextConvert x:Key="whateverKeyNameYouWant"

and

in the textbox is should be

Text="{Binding Path=hM1,Converter={StaticResource whateverKeyNameYouWant},Mode=OneWay}"

I can see immediately a problem with your converter definition.

class TextConvert : IValueConverter

{

    ...

Should be declared public to be able to use it as a resource.

public class TextConvert : IValueConverter

{

    ...

Also, its not a good thing to be doing this...

return value = "Good";



...



return value = "NIL";

It should just be (even though it will not matter if you leave it, just bad programming =P):

return "Good";



...



return "Nill";

Try by removing Path in the below line

Text="{Binding **Path**=hM1,Converter={StaticResource TextConvert},Mode=OneWay}".

Sometimes it works without Path :).

Also look into the output window(Alt+Cntl+O)...to see where the issue is.
