I’m currently writing my own Twitter client (yes, I know, another Twitter client will hit the market. Whoopee!) and I had to create a converter that turns a regular string to some kind of a rich text box with link’s and that kind of stuff. The algorithm is in my head just need to implement. That would be my greatest achievement yet. But let’s not go adrift from the subject. Writing your own converter for your app.
First you need to know is your input and what would be your output (that’s essentially what a converter is: take some input, does some work with and then returns an output). WPF has some very basic converters built-in: String to Color, String to Bool and many more that I have no idea where there are or how they work. I know that the XAML parser uses converters a lot. Some WPF developer I am. But anyway. Let’s get to the point.
