After doing a project with WPF and getting very much attached to it's excellent databinding capabilities, I have now moved back to ASP.Net and am starting to miss some of WPF's stuff.
My question is...is there anything similar to WPF's ValueConverters for ASP.Net?
For example, I want a UserControl to expose a public property which is an IEnumerable<int>
and the user can enter such from the source:
<asp:MyControl1 runat="server" ID="something" TheList="1,3,5,7"/>
And then the value in TheList
will be converted to an IEnumerable<int>
, with something like a ValueConverter of WPF's.
[Update] Solution
Thanks to Nathan Baulch's mention of a TypeConverter
, I got across this question and I managed to build a string to list converter.
