StaticResource not working inside ItemsControl.ItemTemplate

[DheerajSaravagi]

I am trying to use StaticResource for convert Guid value into a image but it gives me error

Hi Dheeraj,

It seems that you have not created or declared the Converter that is specified on your binding.

You have to create a converter called LegalEntityTypeToImageConverter, deriving from IValueConverter under a folder called: Converters.

As an example:

class BooleanToVisibilityConverter implements Fayde.Data.IValueConverter { private trueValue: any = Fayde.Visibility.Visible; private falseValue: any = Fayde.Visibility.Collapsed;

get FalseValue(): any { return this.falseValue; }
set FalseValue(value: any) { this.falseValue = value; }

get TrueValue(): any { return this.trueValue; }
set TrueValue(value: any) { this.trueValue = value; }

Convert(value: any, targetType: IType, parameter: any, culture: any): any
{
    return value === null ? this.FalseValue : <Boolean>value ? this.TrueValue : this.FalseValue;
}

ConvertBack(value: any, targetType: IType, parameter: any, culture: any): any
{
    return value == this.TrueValue ? true : false;
}

} export = BooleanToVisibilityConverter;

In your fayde file you would then add the following to the namespaces:

xmlns:converters="Converters"

and Under

This will allow the Binding to find the Key. PS. Get Deepak or Jagadeep to phone me if you are still stuck.

Thanks for your prompt result, that is something wat I am doing but whenever I am putting StaticResource within Itemcontrol then this will prompt me error.

<ItemsControl x:Name="PersonControl" ItemsSource="{Binding Path=SearchResult}" HorizontalContentAlignment="Stretch"> 
<ItemsControl.ItemTemplate>
            <DataTemplate>
            <Grid HorizontalContentAlignment="Stretch" BorderThickness="1">
              <Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
                <ColumnDefinition Width="75"/>                
              </Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
              <Grid.RowDefinitions>
                <RowDefinition Height="25"/>
              </Grid.RowDefinitions>
              <TextBlock Text Source="{Binding LegalEntityTypeKey, Converter={StaticResource LegalEntityTypeToImageConverter}}" />
               <Image Source="/images/clients_256.png"
                                       Width="20"
                                       Height="20"
                                       HorizontalAlignment="Center"
                                       VerticalAlignment="Center"  Grid.Column="1" />

</DataTemplate>
        </ItemsControl.ItemTemplate>
      </ItemsControl>

Can you email me the fayde file. ronnieb@iprolive.com. I will have a look at it quickly to see if there is an issue there. Otherwise, we can ask Brad to have a look at this issue.

This appears like a misunderstanding of StaticResource. StaticResource refers to another object in the logical tree with x:Key="LegalEntityTypeToImageConverter". In your posted example. there is no such object. If you've created a class called LegalEntityTypeToImageConverter, then try adding an instance to the ItemsControl Resources.

<ItemsControl ...>
  <ItemsControl.Resources>
    <LegalEntityTypeToImageConverter x:Key="legalEntityTypeToImageConverter" />
  </ItemsControl.Resources>
</ItemsControl>

Then use {StaticResource legalEntityTypeToImageConverter}
