World Time Buddy (WTB) is a convenient world clock, a time zone converter, and an online meeting scheduler. It's one of the best online productivity tools for those often finding themselves traveling, in flights, in online meetings or just calling friends and family abroad.
The Unix epoch (or Unix time or POSIX time or Unix timestamp) is the number of seconds that have elapsed since January 1, 1970 (midnight UTC/GMT), not counting leap seconds (in ISO 8601: 1970-01-01T00:00:00Z).Literally speaking the epoch is Unix time 0 (midnight 1/1/1970), but 'epoch' is often used as a synonym for Unix time.Some systems store epoch dates as a signed 32-bit integer, which might cause problems on January 19, 2038 (known as the Year 2038 problem or Y2038).The converter on this page converts timestamps in seconds (10-digit), milliseconds (13-digit) and microseconds (16-digit) to readable dates.
In the String Formatting article, you saw how you can use the StringFormat property of a data binding to convert any type into a string. For other types of conversions, you need to write some specialized code in a class that implements the IValueConverter interface. (The Universal Windows Platform contains a similar class named IValueConverter in the Windows.UI.Xaml.Data namespace, but this IValueConverter is in the Xamarin.Forms namespace.) Classes that implement IValueConverter are called value converters, but they are also often referred to as binding converters or binding value converters.
The Enable Buttons page in the Data Binding Demos sample demonstrates how to use this value converter in a data binding. The IntToBoolConverter is instantiated in the page's resource dictionary. It is then referenced with a StaticResource markup extension to set the Converter property in two data bindings. It is very common to share data converters among multiple data bindings on the page:
The Enable Buttons page demonstrates a common need when a Button performs an operation based on text that the user types into an Entry view. If nothing has been typed into the Entry, the Button should be disabled. Each Button contains a data binding on its IsEnabled property. The data-binding source is the Length property of the Text property of the corresponding Entry. If that Length property is not 0, the value converter returns true and the Button is enabled:
Some value converters are written specifically for particular applications, while others are generalized. If you know that a value converter will only be used in OneWay bindings, then the ConvertBack method can simply return null.
You can write value converters to be more generalized and to accept several different types of data. The Convert and ConvertBack methods can use the as or is operators with the value parameter, or can call GetType on that parameter to determine its type, and then do something appropriate. The expected type of each method's return value is given by the targetType parameter. Sometimes, value converters are used with data bindings of different target types; the value converter can use the targetType argument to perform a conversion for the correct type.
The Switch Indicators page demonstrates how it can be used to display the value of a Switch view. Although it's common to instantiate value converters as resources in a resource dictionary, this page demonstrates an alternative: Each value converter is instantiated between Binding.Converter property-element tags. The x:TypeArguments indicates the generic argument, and TrueObject and FalseObject are both set to objects of that type:
The Binding class defines a ConverterParameter property, and the Binding markup extension also defines a ConverterParameter property. If this property is set, then the value is passed to the Convert and ConvertBack methods as the parameter argument. Even if the instance of the value converter is shared among several data bindings, the ConverterParameter can be different to perform somewhat different conversions.
To display these as hexadecimal values in XAML, they must be multiplied by 255, converted to an integer, and then formatted with a specification of "X2" in the StringFormat property. The first two tasks (multiplying by 255 and converting to an integer) can be handled by the value converter. To make the value converter as generalized as possible, the multiplication factor can be specified with the ConverterParameter property, which means that it enters the Convert and ConvertBack methods as the parameter argument:
The Convert converts from a double to int while multiplying by the parameter value; the ConvertBack divides the integer value argument by parameter and returns a double result. (In the program shown below, the value converter is used only in connection with string formatting, so ConvertBack is not used.)
