Namespace:

Converts the value of the single Binding in a MultiBinding to a string, and returns that string if not null/empty, otherwise returns DefaultValue. The MultiBinding must have exactly one Binding.

Implements

IMultiValueConverter

Remarks

The problem solved by this IMultiValueConverter is that for an ordinary Binding which is bound to "Path=PropertyA.PropertyB", the Converter is not called if the value of PropertyA was null (and therefore PropertyB could not be accessed). By contrast, the converter for an IMultiValueConverter will be called even if any or all of the bindings fail to evaluate down to the last property.

Note that the MultiBinding which uses this IMultiValueConverter must have exactly one Binding.
