How to apply converter to sfDataform by code

[Tung]

Hello,

I need to use a converter in my editors. I found the instruction at https://help.syncfusion.com/xamarin/sfdataform/editing?cs-save-lang=1&cs-lang=csharp

It seems to meet my needs. How to apply the converter to the editor without declaring the property attribute?

Thank you

Hi Tung, 

  

Thank you for contacting Syncfusion support. 

  

We have analyzed your query “Apply converter to property from code in DataForm”, as of now, DataForm supports converters from the attribute. While creatingDataFormItems we are getting converter from respective property attributes. 

  

Kindly share more information on your requirement not to use the converter in property attribute. It will be helpful for us to analyze further and provide you a better solution.

Hello,

I cannot access the source code of the model because it is a third party *.dll.

Hi Tung, 

  

Thank you for the update. 

  

As mentioned in our previous update Converter need to give in property attribute. Your requirement can be achieved using CustomEditor in DataForm. In custom editor OnCommit override method you can convert your value and set it to property. Kindly refer our UG documentation to know more about custom editor in DataForm, 

  

UG link: https://help.syncfusion.com/xamarin/sfdataform/editing#creating-new-custom-editor 

  

Code Snippet: 

[C#]        

protected override void OnCommitValue(Entry view) 

{ 

     var dataFormItemView = view.Parent as DataFormItemView; 

     var value = Convert.ToInt32(view.Text); 

     view.Text = (value * 10).ToString(); 

     this.DataForm.ItemManager.SetValue(dataFormItemView.DataFormItem, view.Text); 

} 

  

We have prepared a simple sample for the same,
