Hi,

I am using FieldLayoutSettings and I do not have FieldSetting for individual columns in my XamGrid. How can I use Converter? I want to convert specific string to brush.

How can I include this converter in my FieldlayoutSettings?

I need this urgently ..plz help.

Thanks,

 Hi Klaus,

There's a Converter property on the Field. After you bind to the data table, you can access the field using something along the lines of

 dp.FieldLayouts[0].Fields["FieldName"].Converter = converter;

Hope this helps,

Hello

As I use a datatable as itemssource for my grid, I cannot define fields in xaml

How can I apply the converter by code (vb)?

Regards

Klaus

That is really strange. I was using converters with the express version and pretty much finished my proto app with it. I actually delivered the first version using express. I then upgraded to the full version and applied the hot fix. I can't make sense of your experience.

This secretive hot fix is really a bad idea all the way around. It really doesn't make sense and surely impacts customer experience and satisfaction. With Wpf being so new, I'd think it important to establish a strong user base and reputation. Support is a huge part of the buying decision, and is the reason I didn't go with Xceed.

I installed the Express version and Converter was not in there either. I then applied the 1007 hotfix to the express version and the Converter property finally appeared.

If anyone from Infragistics is listening (which doesn't seem likely) it would be awesome if I could download the hotfix for the non-express trial version.

Thanks for all your help with this issue.
