ListView Binding

Question

I've got a listview grid style layout and on one column I want my integer value to reflect a word - for example - 1 = Complete, 2 = Pending

my data is bound to a datatable which is filled from a sql search

how can I do this?

Answer 1

you can use a IValueConverter Interface to reflect the corresponding meaning of your integer values.

If you are looking for a sample please let me know.

You can copy paste code below for the sample(Create a project names: ListViewTest):

    

XAML:

<Window x:Class="ListViewTest.Window1"
    xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
    xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
    xmlns:local="clr-namespace:ListViewTest"
    Title="Window1" Height="300" Width="300">
    <Window.Resources>
        <local:IntToStringConverter x:Key="Conv" />
    </Window.Resources>

    <Grid>
        <ListView x:Name="ListStudent" ItemsSource="{Binding StatusList}">
            <ListView.ItemTemplate>
                <DataTemplate>
                    <DockPanel LastChildFill="False">
                        <TextBlock  Text="{Binding Converter={StaticResource Conv}}" VerticalAlignment="Center"
                                       DockPanel.Dock="Left" />
                            <TextBlock Margin="10" Text="Sample" HorizontalAlignment="Right" />
                        </DockPanel>
                </DataTemplate>
            </ListView.ItemTemplate>
        </ListView>
    </Grid>
</Window>

cs:

                  

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Windows;
using System.Windows.Controls;
using System.Windows.Data;
using System.Windows.Documents;
using System.Windows.Input;
using System.Windows.Media;
using System.Windows.Media.Imaging;
using System.Windows.Navigation;
using System.Windows.Shapes;

namespace ListViewTest
{
    /// <summary>
    /// Interaction logic for Window1.xaml
    /// </summary>
    public partial class Window1 : Window
    {
        List<int> mStatusList;
        public Window1()
        {
            InitializeComponent();
            DataContext = this;
            mStatusList = new List<int>() { 1, 2, 1, 1, 2, 2, 1 };
        }
        public List<int> StatusList
        {
            get
            {
                return mStatusList;
            }
        }


    }

    public class IntToStringConverter : IValueConverter
    {

        #region IValueConverter Members

        public object Convert(object value, Type targetType, object parameter, System.Globalization.CultureInfo culture)
        {
            int val = (int)value;
            if (val == 1)
            {
                return "Complete";
            }

            return "Pending";
        }

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

        #endregion
    }
}
