Is it possible to create a generic Int-to-Enum Converter?

Question

I'd like to be able to say

<DataTrigger Binding="{Binding SomeIntValue}" 
             Value="{x:Static local:MyEnum.SomeValue}">

and to have it resolve as True if the int value is equal to (int)MyEnum.Value

I know I could make a Converter that returns (MyEnum)intValue, however then I'd have to make a converter for every Enum type I use in my DataTriggers.

Is there a generic way to create a converter that would give me this kind of functionality?

Answer 1

You could also go the other way around and convert the enum to int for the Value using a custom Markup Extension.

Example

<DataTrigger Binding="{Binding Path=MyNumber}"
             Value="{Markup:EnumToInt {x:Static Visibility.Visible}}">

EnumToIntExtension

public class EnumToIntExtension : MarkupExtension
{
    public object EnumValue
    {
        get;
        set;
    }
    public EnumToIntExtension(object enumValue)
    {
        this.EnumValue = enumValue;
    } 
    public override object ProvideValue(IServiceProvider provider)
    {
        if (EnumValue != null && EnumValue is Enum)
        {
            return System.Convert.ToInt32(EnumValue);
        }
        return -1;
    }
}
