How can I bind dynamic resource key value with column value in data table in wpf

Question

Hello, I am developing a user control in wpf where I need to set eclipse background color as per value in database. Now that field contains values between 1 to 6.

now I want that according to values in of that field my eclipse should have different color. I have defined 6 different brushes in resources. Their key values contain 1 to 6 number.

now I know that I can find resources bu key or name but do not want that. what I want is when I run query according to values in column the dynamic resource value should be set. I don't wanna do any processing so can I bind dynamic resource value directly...

if you are not clear with my question plz specify i will put my code...

Answer 1

I think my ResourceKeyBinding extension might be able to help you here. It lets you use databinding to specify the Key of the Resource that you want to use.

Answer 2

If you have a value between 1 and 6 and you know what the style should be for each, you should just set a style that has datatriggers for each value (1-6) and set whatever values inside each trigger
