Xceed.Silverlight.DataGrid.v2.0 Assembly > Xceed.Silverlight.DataGrid.Converters Namespace > StatResultConverter Class : Convert Method |
A composite format string. If a FormatProvider has been provided, it will be used in combination with the format string to convert the value (see also Composite Formatting topic in Windows SDK).
If parameter is a null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic), value will be returned unmodified.
Composite format strings use braces ("{}") to identify place-holders, which causes an issue when providing a format string to a StatResultConverter in XAML; therefore, the StatResultConverter supports square brackets ("[]") as a substitute for braces. For example, if normally {0:#0.0} would have been used, it would be replaced with [#0.0] when using a StatResultConverter. If braces are preferred, the format string must be preceded with a closing brace (e.g., ConverterParameter={}{0:#0.0}}).
When using square brackets, the 0: that represents the place-holder must be omitted otherwise an exception will be thrown.
