How To Use ValueConverter as StaticResource in Windows Phone 8
c#, ivalueconverter, valueconverter, windows-phone-8, xaml
Solution
You will make your class a public class (by default it will be internal). Otherwise it can't be instantiated.
public class TextColorConverter : IValueConverter
Problem
Below is my App.xaml ``` <Application x:Class="SpinrWindowsMobile.App" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation" xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml" xmlns:phone="clr-namespace:Microsoft.Phone.Controls;assembly=Microsoft.Phone" xmlns:shell="clr-namespace:Microsoft.Phone.Shell;assembly=Microsoft.Phone" > <!--Application Resources--> <Application.Resources > <ResourceDictionary> <local:LocalizedStrings xmlns:local="clr-namespace:SpinrWindowsMobile" x:Key="LocalizedStrings"/> <converter:TextColorConverter xmlns:converter="clr-namespace:SpinrWindowsMobile.Common" x:Key="TextColorConverter"></converter:TextColorConverter> </ResourceDictionary> </Application.Resources> .... </Application> ``` I had written TextColorConverter.cs in NameSpace SpinrWindowsMobile.Common While launching the app It gives me exception can not create Instance of Type SpinrWindowsMobile.Common.TextColorConverter . I don't know where am I missing. Below is the my TextColorConverter.cs class ``` class TextColorConverter : IValueConverter { public object Convert(object value, Type targetType, object parameter, System.Globalization.CultureInfo culture) { // some code } public object ConvertBack(object value, Type targetType, object parameter, System.Globalization.CultureInfo culture) { // some code } } ``` I am using Microsoft Visual Studio 2012 For Windows Phone as My Development Tool. One more thing I want to share I am not getting ValueConverstionAttribute Class in System.Windows.Data namespace. Can anyone guide me where am I wrong.
