If you give a ControlTemplate a key as you have above, its not applied to anything unless you specifically tell it to use that template. If it doesn't have an x:Key, its applied to everything.

Look into cellstyleselecteor at Telerik, this allows you to manage a cell based on the content, not sure if it can be coerced into managing the content of the cell.
I would ask this in the Telerik support forums, I find them very helpful supporting their products.

Same issue[^] and the work around given here works perfect but has a disadvantage that designers cannot work on the UI part if we move the code to the converter. any alternate?

You're questions are too generic, you are looking for design information in a forum post. This indicates you need to do some more study, either a book or peruse the articles on your subject. These question cannot be answered in a simple forum post.

I would like to do some simple math in my WPF application with as much XAML code as possible and with as little C# code as possible. I have looked at various examples how to do this on diffrent web pages, but they are either to complex or don't show all details or lacks code or is just a bad example.
Please run my XAML code, just copy and paste it:
<Window x:Class="WpfApplication1.MainWindow"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
Title="MainWindow" Height="350" Width="525">
<Window.Resources>
<Style x:Key="Alignment">
<Setter Property="Control.HorizontalAlignment" Value="Left"></Setter>
<Setter Property="Control.VerticalAlignment" Value="Top"></Setter>
</Style>
<Style x:Key="GroupBoxStyle" BasedOn="{StaticResource Alignment}">
<Setter Property="Control.BorderBrush" Value="Black"></Setter>
<Setter Property="Control.BorderThickness" Value="2"></Setter>
<Setter Property="Control.FontSize" Value="15"></Setter>
</Style>
<Style x:Key="Header">
<Setter Property="Control.FontSize" Value="15"></Setter>
<Setter Property="Control.FontWeight" Value="Bold"></Setter>
<Setter Property="Control.Height" Value="30"></Setter>
</Style>
</Window.Resources>
<Grid>
<GroupBox Header="Product schedule" Margin="0,0,0,0" Style="{StaticResource GroupBoxStyle}" Width="Auto" Height="Auto">
<Grid>
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition Height="Auto"/>
<RowDefinition Height="Auto"/>
<RowDefinition Height="Auto"/>
<RowDefinition Height="Auto"/>
</Grid.RowDefinitions>
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition Width="Auto"/>
<ColumnDefinition Width="Auto"/>
<ColumnDefinition Width="Auto"/>
<ColumnDefinition Width="Auto"/>
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<Label Content="Product" Grid.Row="0" Grid.Column="0" Style="{StaticResource Header}"></Label>
<Label Content="Weight (g)" Grid.Row="0" Grid.Column="1" Style="{StaticResource Header}"></Label>
<Label Content="Numbers" Grid.Row="0" Grid.Column="2" Style="{StaticResource Header}"></Label>
<Label Content="Total weight (g)" Grid.Row="0" Grid.Column="3" Style="{StaticResource Header}"></Label>
<Label Content="A" Grid.Row="1" Grid.Column="0"></Label>
<Label Content="126" Grid.Row="1" Grid.Column="1"></Label>
<TextBox Name="txtA" Grid.Row="1" Grid.Column="2"></TextBox>
<Label Name="lblATotalWeightGram" Grid.Row="1" Grid.Column="3"></Label>
<Label Content="B" Grid.Row="2" Grid.Column="0"></Label>
<Label Content="220" Grid.Row="2" Grid.Column="1"></Label>
<TextBox Name="txtB" Grid.Row="2" Grid.Column="2"></TextBox>
<Label Name="lblBTotalWeightram" Grid.Row="2" Grid.Column="3"></Label>
<Label Content="Total" Grid.Row="3" Grid.Column="0"></Label>
<Label Name="lblPiiGABTotal" Grid.Row="3" Grid.Column="2"></Label>
<Label Name="lblPiiGABTotalWeightGram" Grid.Row="3" Grid.Column="3"></Label>
<Label Name="lblPiiGABTotalWeightKiloGram" Grid.Row="3" Grid.Column="4"></Label>
</Grid>
</GroupBox>
</Grid>
</Window>
Notice I have two Textboxes to specify numbers of product A and product B.
I would like to calculate the following:
1) Total Weight in g for each product: A * 126 and B * 220
2) Calculate total amounth of products: A + B
3) Calculate total weight of all products: (A * 126) + (B * 220)
This should be done if I change any values in the TextBoxes.
Any help would be nice!

Short answer is "yes, it is possible".
The long answer is a lot less pleasant: it can't be done for free. Pulling this trick requires work. In fact, it requires a lot of work.
Here are the basic steps:
1. First, you need an expression library capable of evaluating expressions presented to it as strings. You can either build one (making a high-performance evaluation library on top of Linq expressions is surprisingly simple), or adopt one written by someone else (for example, this one: Expression Evaluator[^]).
2. Next, you will need to build a Converter class, which is a small adapter for using your expression evaluator in XAML. One class can implement both IMultiValueConverter.aspx[^] and IValueConverter[^], and expose a string property called "Source".
3. Import the assembly with your adapter into your XAML file by adding a clr-namespace referencing your assembly to the Windows element. xmlns:Converter="clr-namespace:MyNamespace.Converter;assembly=MyConverterAssembly"
4. Add a resource for each expression that you would like evaluated from your XAML:
<Converter:ExpressionValueConverter
x:Key="CalcTotalWeight"
Source="(arg1 * 126) + (arg2 * 220)"
/>
5. Use binding or multi-binding to attach your expression to labels and text boxes in your XAML:
<MultiBinding Converter="{StaticResource CalcTotalWeigh}" FallbackValue="0">
<Binding Path="txtA"/>
<Binding Path="txtB"/>
</MultiBinding>
I went through this exercise once, and I can tell you that it is not easy. And I started with a well-tested expression library from step 1! But once you put it all together, it looks like a small miracle.

Thanks!
Since I'm no master in XAML and I can practically do nothing if I don't have a simple and exact example, your guide will do me no good.
I think I will skip this method and use the old fashion C# way instead. Ugly but easy...

You could accomplish this entirely in your XAML by using inline code (it's not pretty, and it's not good practice, but it is possible). Basically, you would implement an <x:Code> section where you would put the code in place to handle the calculations, etc. The important thing to remember is that you should encode your code so that you have something that looks like this:<x:Code>
<![CDATA[
// Do your work here
]]>
</x:Code>

Thanks!
I tried that and it worked. But I don't like the method at all.

Hi,
I want to validate the controls in asp.net silverlight when click a button before save.
We need any validation controls or javascript?
i need to work same as asp.net validation control or javascript validation.

Your question does not make sense, you are asking for information about both asp.net and silverlight, in a silverlight forum. Either you are using silverlight or not, decide and then ask a more appropriate question.
You do not use javascript to validate silverlight input, javascript works in conjunction with asp (html) not xaml.

Hello again!
I have searched for it but couldn't find an apropriate solution.
I have a list of objects, and I want to arrange them in rows, but still allowing user to select any individual item. For example:
list = { a1, a2,a3,b1,b2,b3}
In a combobox I would like to see:
[ ]V
a1 a2 a3
b1 b2 b3
Items in a combobox are enumeration members and value of a combobox should be bound.
User can select any value from the list. Moreover, items a2,b2,c2,... (that is, when index%3==1) should appear in bold (extra feature).
I have tried to set a List<List<MyClass>> as a datasource, but in that case user would be able to set a whole row and not individual items. Such behaviour is unacceptable.
How to accomplish this?
Thanks in advance,
Greetings - Jacek

From MSDN[^] - A ListBoxItem is a ContentControl, which means that it can contain a single object of any type (such as a string, an image, or a panel).
This means you can directly add any type of content you wish (like a grid).
Grid grid = new Grid();
grid.Children.Add(new TextBlock { Text = "Hello"});
listBox.Items.Add(grid);
Or you can use a grid in your ItemTemplate
<ListBox x:Name="listBox" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" HorizontalContentAlignment="Stretch">
<ListBox.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<Grid HorizontalAlignment="Stretch">
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition />
<ColumnDefinition />
<ColumnDefinition />
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<TextBlock Grid.Column="0" Text="{Binding Property1}" FontWeight="{Binding Path=Property1, Converter={StaticResource fontWeightConverter}}" />
<TextBlock Grid.Column="1" Text="{Binding Property2}" FontWeight="{Binding Path=Property2, Converter={StaticResource fontWeightConverter}}" />
<TextBlock Grid.Column="2" Text="{Binding Property3}" FontWeight="{Binding Path=Property3, Converter={StaticResource fontWeightConverter}}" />
</Grid>
</DataTemplate>
</ListBox.ItemTemplate>
</ListBox>
listBox.ItemsSource = new MyClass[] {
new MyClass { Property1 = "a1", Property2 = "a2", Property3 = "a3"},
new MyClass { Property1 = "b1", Property2 = "b2", Property3 = "b3"},
new MyClass { Property1 = "c1", Property2 = "c2", Property3 = "c3"},
};
and the FontWeightConverter
public class FontWeightConverter : IValueConverter
{
public object Convert(object value, Type targetType, object parameter, System.Globalization.CultureInfo culture)
{
String item = value as String;
if (item == null) return FontWeights.Normal;
int index = int.Parse(item.Substring(1, 1));
return index % 3 == 1 ? FontWeights.Bold : FontWeights.Normal;
}
public object ConvertBack(object value, Type targetType, object parameter, System.Globalization.CultureInfo culture)
{
throw new NotImplementedException();
}
}

Thanks for your answer!
Unfortunately, I don't see how user could select, let say, "a3" in a grid without selecting "a1" and "a2". The list of possible values is flat, and the selection is bound to a single property. User has to choose a single item. Arranging items in a grid is a layout/GUI issue and does not reflect application logic.
Less important: let's say that ther are n columns in a grid. The solution which you have kindly provided fixes n=3. Not so bad since the number of columns will be fixed, but IMHO it is risky and not easily scalable.

Actually, a much simpler implementation would be to just swap out the item panel for a WrapPanel. Then you could select individual items...
Simple as 1-2-3...
<ComboBox Height="23" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="177,136,0,0" Name="comboBox1" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="120">
<ComboBoxItem Content="Item 1" />
<ComboBoxItem Content="Item 2" />
<ComboBoxItem Content="Item 3" />
<ComboBoxItem Content="Item 4" />
<ComboBoxItem Content="Item 5" />
<ComboBox.ItemsPanel>
<ItemsPanelTemplate>
<WrapPanel />
</ItemsPanelTemplate>
</ComboBox.ItemsPanel>
</ComboBox>

This is what I needed! Thanks very much!
You have a knowledge of the framework.
In this specific scenario, the exact solution is:
<WrapPanel ItemWidth="45" Width="225" />
which gives exactly 5 items in a row, as requested.

You're welcome. BTW... forgot to mention the bold thing... you should use the ListBox AlternationCount for the bold feature.

OK I will try it.

I'd pass on this implementation. Too much hard coding of everything.

Hello!
I have a class:
class MyClass
{
public enum Letters {A,B,C}
public Letters Letter {get;set;}
public bool IsUsed { get; set; }
}
Now, I'd like to bind the Letter property to a Textbox.Text. Works fine, but if a user left the textbox empty, then a parsing error would occur. Instead, in that case I would like to set the IsUsed property to false. I do not want to have a combo box + checkbox, because the enum values are short and well known (like letters) and writing them in a text box is most convenient.
I had tried to bind whole MyClass object and use a converter, but the ConvertBack method didn't have enough data to generate a MyClass object from scratch (there are other members than Letter and IsUsed). I had also tried to pass the original object as a converter parameter but it came out that I cannot bind to ConverterParameter so I am in a dead point.
NOTE: Everything happens in a DataTemplate sandbox for ItemsControl.ItemTemplate, like here:
<DataTemplate x:Key="DataTemplate_Level2">
<TextBox Text="{Binding Path=Letter, Mode=TwoWay}" Width="40" Margin="2" />
</DataTemplate>
How to get it working?
Thanks in advnace
