For many hours he looked for this problem and did not see where I was wrong.
I have the following converter that just returns Brushes.Red (tried Colors.Red), but still no luck.
public class ColorConverter : IValueConverter
{
private static ColorConverter instance = new ColorConverter();
public static ColorConverter Instance
{
get
{
return instance;
}
}
public object Convert(object value, Type targetType, object parameter, System.Globalization.CultureInfo culture)
{
return Brushes.Red;
}
public object ConvertBack(object value, Type targetType, object parameter, System.Globalization.CultureInfo culture)
{
throw new Exception("The method or operation is not implemented.");
}
}
Now in my xaml I have the following code:
<StackPanel Orientation="Vertical">
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Value}" TextAlignment="Center" Foreground="{Binding Path=color, Converter={x:Static local:ColorConverter.Instance}}" Margin="2"/>
</StackPanel>
I set the following namespace at the top:
xmlns:local="clr-namespace:Dashboard"
Now I have the following class bound to the stack panel:
public class MyClass : INotifyPropertyChanged
{
public String Value;
public Color color;
public event PropertyChangedEventHandler PropertyChanged;
public void NotifyPropertyChanged(String info)
{
if (PropertyChanged != null)
{
PropertyChanged(this, new PropertyChangedEventArgs(info));
}
}
}
Data binding (Value) works fine, but the converter does not want to kick, I tried to set a breakpoint in the Convert covnerter method, but this does not work when debugging, it just seems if my debugger is not called.
Can anyone shed some light on this?
