Here i am binding a value to the datagrid as show given below

XML

<DataGrid Grid.Row="1" Name="dgDept" IsReadOnly="True" AutoGenerateColumns="False" BorderBrush="Black" BorderThickness="1 1 1 1" Margin="10,15,10,0" MouseDoubleClick="OndgDeptMouseDoubleClick" IsEnabled="True"  PreviewKeyDown="dgDept_KeyDown" >
<DataGrid.Columns>
<DataGridTextColumn Header="Status" Width="*" Binding="{Binding Status}"/>
</DataGrid.Columns>
</DataGrid>

C#

var data=dbobj.GetDataFromDB("Select Status from tblDept");
dgDept.ItemsSource=data;

Status has 0,1,2,3 values.Now my problem is how can i bind text as one,two three,four to datagrid instead of 0,1,2,3

Any idea to achieve this?

Hi,

you can use IValueConverter as below. I have pasted here a example have a look.

IValueConverter convertor Reference in XAML

XML

xmlns:convertor="clr-namespace:ApplicationShell"

Add Window Resource

XML

<Window.Resources>
    <convertor:InttoString x:Key="inttoString"/>
</Window.Resources>

My XAML

XML

<datagrid x:name="studentDG" height="150" autogeneratecolumns="False" xmlns:x="#unknown">
                    <datagrid.columns>
                        <datagridtextcolumn binding="{Binding IDs, Converter={StaticResource inttoString}}" header="ID" />
                    </datagrid.columns>
                </datagrid>

My Code behind

C#

List<teststu> IDs = new List<teststu>();
           IDs.Add(new TestStu { IDs = 1 });
           IDs.Add(new TestStu { IDs = 2 });
           IDs.Add(new TestStu { IDs = 3 });
           IDs.Add(new TestStu { IDs = 4 });
           studentDG.ItemsSource = IDs;

and my IValueConverter

C#

public class InttoString : IValueConverter
    {
        public object Convert(object value, Type targetType, object parameter, System.Globalization.CultureInfo culture)
        {
            switch (value + "")
            {
                case "1":
                    return "One";
                case "2":
                    return "Two";
                case "3":
                    return "Three";
                case "4":
                    return "Four";
                default:
                    return "Zero";
            }
        }

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

let me know if you can't understand.
