IValueConverter and Silverlight databinding

The code here is based on Silverlight 2 technology. One of the key features for Silverlight that I’ve made extensive use of lately is the ability to include an IValueConverter in the databinding process. Recently I had an issue with the Silverlight DataGrid and the DataGridTextColumn. I wanted to override FontWeight property of my bound text column but was getting an AG_E PARSER error. Silverlight wasn’t up for having the FontWeight property bound to anything aside from

XAML By FARR

For the last year and a half I have been working extensively on WPF applications.  During this time I have learned a great deal in architecting, coding and improving WPF application design and development.  This will be my first of a series of blog posts detailing my knowledge gained.  One may ask why it has taken so long to begin blogging about this topic?  I can answer with one word, laziness.  Yes, I have been lazy when it comes to blogging about the things I have learned, however, it is bett
