Hi,

maybe it's a stupid but i ask myself if it possible to call an action from a converter... I don't know how to do that.

My basis needs is to get information from an item (a config file) in a wizard... Usuallyi use actions for getting information from solution (like searching a config file item) but i don't know on how to do it from converter.

So this question can have two different answer (i will get one i hope ;-)) :

- how getting a specific ProjectItem from a converter ?

- OR how calling action from a converter ?

Thanks in advance.

To answer your question, yes, it's possible to call an action from a converter, you would need to programmatically instantiate the action's type, site it, and call it's Execute method. That should work.

Now, if what you're looking is to retrieve values from the solution, I would suggest you use a ValueProvider instead (please take a look at the docs and samples for them).

Thank for you answer,

ok i'm agree with you. I think that what i don't know is how to site action from converter. From an action it's ok, Action class give me a container property to do that... But for converter 's class base type, this inherited property seem not exist... How do you site action from converter ?

I notice your suggestion too, thank for it.
