Yes it is being called.  I stepped through it.  When I examine the value parameter, it is of type UnboundColumnDataContext.  The key property is set correctly ("Attachment" - the key for the column), but both the RowData and Value properties are nothing.

Do you have a sample that i could look at?

I'm unable to reproduce what you're seeing.

I don't.  Its on my development machine.  Don't know if it matters, but the ItemsSource for the grid is set at runtime - its a linqtosql entity (ria service).  I tried setting the valueconverter both at runtime and in xaml but it didn't make any difference.  That particular grid makes use of several valueconverters all of which are working properly, but none of them are on unbound columns. 

Here's the convert function:

Public Function Convert(ByVal value As Object, ByVal targetType As System.Type, ByVal parameter As Object, ByVal culture As System.Globalization.CultureInfo) As Object Implements System.Windows.Data.IValueConverter.Convert
    Dim t As Transaction = DirectCast(DirectCast(value, Infragistics.Silverlight.UnboundColumnDataContext).RowData, Transaction)
    Dim ctx As ComdataDS = DirectCast(parameter, ComdataDS)
    If ctx.Documents.Select(Function(d) d.TransactionKey = t.TransactionKey).Count > 0 Then
        Return New Uri(Application.Current.Host.Source, "../images/attachment.png")
    Else
        Return String.Empty
    End If
End Function

Hmm... 

That appears to be the issue, The value being returned in the Converter should not be a  UnboundColumnDataContext, it should be the data for that particular row. 

Are you using the latest Service Release?

I thought an unbound column was supposed to make use of an unboundcolumndatacontext?  I'll check and see if the service release I installed was the latest.

Hi,

I downloaded and installed it and now it works perfectly.

Thanks.

Hi,
