• Convert(...): This gets called when the source updates the target object.
• ConvertBack(...): This gets called when the target object updates the source object:

Implementation of the value converter is simple. First create a class in your project. We named it BoolToColorConverter and implemented it from IValueConverter. Implement the ...
