Example

The following code example shows how to create a multi-value converter class that implements IMultiValueConverter to provide conversion from FirstName and LastName into a single formatted value.

C#
Copy Code 
public class NameConverter : IMultiValueConverter
{

    #region IMultiValueConverter Members

    public object Convert(object[] values, Type targetType, object parameter, System.Globalization.CultureInfo culture)
    {
        string firstName = string.Empty;
        string lastName = string.Empty;
        string fullName = string.Empty;

        if (values == null || values.Length == 0)
            return string.Empty;

        if (values.GetValue(0) != null)
            firstName = values.GetValue(0).ToString();

        if (values.GetValue(1) != null)
            lastName = values.GetValue(1).ToString();

        if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(firstName) && !string.IsNullOrEmpty(lastName))
            fullName = lastName + ", " + firstName;
        else if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(firstName))
            fullName = firstName;
        else if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(lastName))
            fullName = lastName;
        else
            fullName = "Please specify a name";

        return fullName;
    }

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

    #endregion
}

Once the multi-value converters are defined, you can consume them in the XAML pages and declare the MultiBinding in the elements.

The following XAML code shows how to declare the converter as a static resource in the XAML page, and declare the MultiBinding as well as the multiple {Binding} definition on the Text property on the Content property of a GlassLabel control.
