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?

Step to create custom command: Implement the ICommand write a constructor which will take two parameters of type Action and Func respectively. if you want to trigger CanExecute on property change then add the method which should invoke CanExecuteChanged  EventHandler . Why Action? Action delegate is used for performing the action. As our actual implementation of  this Action will present in our ViewModel and we need to pass ViewModel method as a constructor parameter so that we can assign it in our CustomCommand and can invoke when require. Why Func? Func delegate is used when we want to pass some value and return some value. As our actual implementation of  this Func will ...
