Question

In Silverlight 2….

I have a RadioButton in my xaml code as follows:

<RadioButton GroupName='Gender' Content='Male' IsChecked='{Binding Path=Gender, ConverterParameter=1, Mode=TwoWay, Converter={StaticResource RadioStringConverter}}' Width='49' HorizontalAlignment='Left'/> 

This works great. My issue is in trying to duplicate this functionallity dynamically.

RadioButton rb = new RadioButton() {GroupName = 'Gender', Content = 'Male' ,Width = (double)49,HorizontalAlignment = System.Windows.HorizontalAlignment.Left}; 

this works but when I try to put the converter in, it breaks. What is the proper way to do this? Any good working examples?

Here is what I tried….

RadioButton rb = new RadioButton() {GroupName = 'Gender', Content = 'Male' ,Width = (double)49,HorizontalAlignment = System.Windows.HorizontalAlignment.Left};  RadioStringConverter rsc = new RadioStringConverter();  Binding binding = new Binding(layout.FieldName) { Source = mainLayout.DataContext, Mode = BindingMode.TwoWay,ConverterParameter = 1,Converter = rsc};  // to emulate the '{StaticResource RadioStringConverter}'};  rb.SetBinding(RadioButton.IsCheckedProperty, binding);  sp.Children.Add(rb); 

Although this compiles fine, it does not run correctly. 1) How do I reference the static resource dynamically? 2) How do I add this static resource to the XAML dynamically? Right now I have this reference hard coded.

Am I making this more difficult than it needs to be?

Solution found…. Basically I had to create an instance of the converter class and pass it’s interface to the converter as such:

Binding binding = new Binding(layout.FieldName) { Source = mainLayout.DataContext, Mode = BindingMode.TwoWay,ConverterParameter = 1,Converter = (rsc as IValueConverter)}; 

Glad it turned out simple and doable 🙂
