WPF - using CroppedBitmap in DataTemplate

Question

The following xaml works ok inside a Window:

    
        &l         


        

Answer 1

I thought I would complete the other answer by providing the alluded-to Converter.

Now I use this converter and that seems to work, no more Source' property is not set error.

public class CroppedBitmapConverter : IValueConverter
{
    public object Convert(object value, Type targetType, object parameter, CultureInfo culture)
    {
        FormatConvertedBitmap fcb = new FormatConvertedBitmap();
        fcb.BeginInit();
        fcb.Source = new BitmapImage(new Uri((string)value));
        fcb.EndInit();
        return fcb;
    }

    public object ConvertBack(object value, Type targetType, object parameter, CultureInfo culture)
    {
        throw new NotImplementedException();
    }
}
