Binding RadioButtons with Gender Property in WPF Using Value Converter

Many WPF developers face a common problem when working with RadioButtons . They try to bind RadioButtons with a Gender property, but the binding does not work as expected . Why does this happen? Because RadioButtons work with true/false values , but in real applications, Gender is stored as meaningful values like: Male Female So the big question is: How do we connect a true/false UI control with a Male/Female data value?

To define a namespace we need to use "namespace". eg.   namespace NamespaceName  {       class className      {      }  }   namespace WpfWorld Namespace  {       class WpfWorld      {      }  } if we want to use  WpfWorld class in another class then we have to add  WpfWorld Namespace to that class by using Keyword. using  WpfWorld Namespace;   namespace Ex Namespace  {       class Ex      {        var obj WpfWorld = new  WpfWorld(); ...

What is Sealed class?

Sealed class is a class that prevents the class from being inherited by other class.Sealed class can have Sealed Methods.Sealed method can't be override.To create a Sealed class we need to add Sealed modifier before class keywords. eg. sealed class MySealedClass { } Sealed class can be a derived class but can't be a base class.A sealed class cannot be an abstract class. Because abstract class has to provide functionality and here we are restricting it to inherit. One of the best usage of sealed classes is when you have a class with static members.
