InverseConverter Class

Represents a value converter that inverts another value converter.

public class InverseConverter
Inheritance:
object object

Remarks

This converter allows the logic of existing value converters to be reused in bindings that require the data conversion to be reversed. For example, if AToBConverter converts type A to type B, then wrapping it with an instance of InverseConverter it will convert from type B to type A. This allows AToBConverter to be used in a binding for properties of type A.

Examples

<shared:InverseConverter x:Key="InverseConverter">
    <shared:InverseConverter.Converter>
        <shared:ThicknessConverter />
    </shared:InverseConverter.Converter>
</shared:InverseConverter>
...
... Number="{Binding Path=BorderThickness, Converter={StaticResource InverseConverter}}" ...
