Binding to display name attribute of enum in xaml
Create a class implementing the System.Windows.Data.IValueConverter interface and specify it as the binding's converter. Optionally, for easier usage, you can create a "provider" class implementing System.Windows.Markup.MarkupExtension (actually you can do both with just one class). Your end result could resemble this example:
public class MyConverter : MarkupExtension, IValueConverter{ public object Convert(object value, Type targetType, object parameter, CultureInfo culture) { return ((Enum)value).GetAttributeOfType<DisplayAttribute>().Name; } public object ConvertBack(object value, Type targetType, object parameter, CultureInfo culture) { throw new NotSupportedException(); } public override object ProvideValue(IServiceProvider serviceProvider) { return this; }}And then in XAML:
<Label Content="{Binding CurrentViewModel.ViewMode, Converter={local:MyConverter}}" Grid.Column="2" VerticalContentAlignment="Bottom" Height="43" HorizontalContentAlignment="Right"/>
