    <p>I have a WPF application that needs to provide feedback to the user about an internal state. The design is to have three images, call them Red, Yellow, and Green. One of these images will be displayed at a time depending on the state. Here are the points:</p> <ul> <li>The three images are in Properties.Resources in the code-behind</li> <li>Only one of the images will be shown at a time.</li> <li>The state change comes from a process in code-behind and not from the user.</li> <li>I would like to bind an image control so that I can change the image from code-behind.</li> </ul> <p>I’m assuming I’ll need an image converter to change the JPG image to an image source such as:</p> <hr> <pre><code>[ValueConversion(typeof(System.Drawing.Bitmap), typeof(ImageSource))] public class BitmapToImageSourceConverter : IValueConverter { public object Convert(object value, Type targetType, object parameter, CultureInfo culture) { var bmp = value as System.Drawing.Bitmap; if (bmp == null) return null; return System.Windows.Interop.Imaging.CreateBitmapSourceFromHBitmap( bmp.GetHbitmap(), IntPtr.Zero, Int32Rect.Empty, BitmapSizeOptions.FromEmptyOptions()); } public object ConvertBack(object value, Type targetType, object parameter, CultureInfo culture) { throw new NotSupportedException(); } } </code></pre> <hr> <p>I’d prefer to convert the images once during initialization and keep a list of Image sources. I’m also assuming I’ll need a dependency property to bind the control to, but I’m not sure how to set that up with this list of image sources:</p> <hr> <pre><code> // Dependancy Property for the North Image public static readonly DependencyProperty NorthImagePathProperty = DependencyProperty.Register( "NorthImagePath", typeof(ImageSource), typeof(MainWindow), new PropertyMetadata("**Don't know what goes here!!!**")); // Property wrapper for the dependancy property public ImageSource NorthImagePath { get { return (ImageSource)GetValue(NorthImagePathProperty); } set { SetValue(NorthImagePathProperty, value); } } </code></pre>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
