Re: How to implement a simple type converter in Silverlight 2 Beta2

Hello, TypeConverter.GetStandardValuesSupported is usually used in Windows Forms data binding. In WPF and Silverlight, you create a class implements IValueConverter. You need to check the type in the converter's methods. Here's a simple sample:

public class NameConverter : IValueConverter
{
public object Convert(object value, Type targetType, object parameter, System.Globalization.CultureInfo culture)
{
MyObject myObj = value as MyObject;
if (myObj == null)
{
throw new Exception("Invalid Type!");
}
return myObj.FirstName + " " + myObj.LastName;
}

public object ConvertBack(object value, Type targetType, object parameter, System.Globalization.CultureInfo culture)
{
throw new NotImplementedException();
}
}

 

For StandardValuesCollection, I don't know what is it. Can you be more specific?
