    DataGridForeignKeyConverter Class
    In This Topic

    Represents a foreign key converter, which allows custom key/value mappings to be provided.

    Syntax
    'Declaration
 
Public Class DataGridForeignKeyConverter 
   Inherits ForeignKeyConverter
    'Usage
 
Dim instance As DataGridForeignKeyConverter
    public class DataGridForeignKeyConverter : ForeignKeyConverter
    Remarks

    Through a ForeignKeyConverter, custom key/value mappings can also be defined. When providing custom key/value mappings, a foreign key converter must be created by deriving from the ForeignKeyConverter class and overriding its GetKeyFromValue and GetValueFromKey methods in which the value for a specified key and the key for a specified value should be returned (see implementation of PersonForeignKeyConverter class in Example 2). This converter can then be provided to the ForeignKeyConverter property of either a foreign key description or configuration.

    If a ForeignKeyConverter has not been explicitly provided for a ForeignKeyConfiguration, the converter from its corresponding DataGridForeignKeyDescription will be used.
