Caliburn.Micro Binding DateTimeOffset to DatePicker

Question

I need to bind DateTimeOffset property to a WPF DatePicker since Odata not supports DateTime. I know how to bind DateTime property.

I have tried binding DateTimeOffset property to DatePicker as same as binding DateTime property.

But the value is not changing at all. It's always has the default value.

How can I solve this problem?

Answer 1

Try using this value converter.

public class DateTimeToDateTimeOffsetConverter : IValueConverter
{
    public object Convert(object value, Type targetType, object parameter, CultureInfo culture)
    {
            DateTimeOffset dto = (DateTimeOffset)value;
            return dto.DateTime;
    }

    public object ConvertBack(object value, Type targetType, object parameter, CultureInfo culture)
    {
            DateTime date = (DateTime)value;
            return new DateTimeOffset(date);
    }
}
