RxConverters class¶

Summary¶

View source

        Provides static access to the ReactiveUI converter service.
        

Remarks¶

This class provides a global access point to the ConverterService instance used by ReactiveUI for binding type conversions. It is initialized during application startup via the ReactiveUIBuilder pattern.

Recommended Usage:

In most cases, you don't need to access converters directly - the binding system uses them automatically. However, if you need to manually resolve a converter or register custom converters after initialization, use this class.

Initialization:

The converter service is initialized when you call ReactiveUIBuilder.BuildApp():

RxAppBuilder.CreateReactiveUIBuilder()
 .WithCoreServices()
 .WithPlatformServices()
 .BuildApp();

Custom Converter Registration:

Register custom converters during builder configuration (recommended):

RxAppBuilder.CreateReactiveUIBuilder()
 .WithConverter(new MyCustomConverter())
 .BuildApp();

Or register after initialization (not recommended, but supported):

RxConverters.Current.TypedConverters.Register(new MyCustomConverter());

Examples¶

Example: Manually resolving a converter

var converter = RxConverters.Current.ResolveConverter(typeof(int), typeof(string));
 if (converter is IBindingTypeConverter<int, string> typedConverter)
 {
 if (typedConverter.TryConvert(42, null, out var result))
 {
 Console.WriteLine(result); // "42"
 }
 }
