I have various stored procedures which return data to the grid with zero or a one. In some cases I want to set the visible values to true/false and some to yes/no (and possibly others). Rather than change all the stored procedures I would like to do this with a template, but am unsure of how to change the text of a textblock based on the binding result.

Any help would be much appreciated.

whocares, it sounds like you need to use a value converter. You can use this approach to shape the column data in any way you want, as it is bound. There is some good documentation about it on MSDN.

 

I hope this helps.

It sounds like what you are looking for is DataGridCell's Content property. You can get the cell from the row (Cells collection).

 

I hope this helps.
