WPF / DataGrid：绑定到不同的属性以进行显示和编辑

Question

I have an object that contains eg a string property like "10; 20; 30". I have also a get property that splits the string, converts each part to a double and sums them up. Thus I have "10; 20; 30" and 60.0 (as double).

Now the question is. Is there a way to display the 60.0 (as double) in a TextColumn, but when going to edit mode editing the string "10; 20; 30"?

So that I can bind to one property for displaying and to bind to another property for editing?

You can achieve this with your existing property itself by using different template displaying and editing.

Below CellTemplate and CellEditingTemplate can used for this.

<Grid>
    <Grid.Resources>
        <local:ValueConverter x:Key="ValueConverter"/>
        <DataTemplate x:Key="DisplayTemplate" >
            <TextBlock Text="{Binding StringProperty, 
                                      Converter={StaticResource ValueConverter}}"/>
        </DataTemplate>
        <DataTemplate x:Key="EditTemplate">
            <TextBox Text="{Binding StringProperty}"  />
        </DataTemplate>
    </Grid.Resources>
    <DataGrid Name="DG1" ItemsSource="{Binding Items}" AutoGenerateColumns="False" 
              CanUserAddRows="False">
        <DataGrid.Columns>
            <DataGridTemplateColumn Header="Total" 
                                    CellTemplate="{StaticResource DisplayTemplate}" 
                                    CellEditingTemplate="{StaticResource EditTemplate}" />
        </DataGrid.Columns>
    </DataGrid>
</Grid>

You can use IValueConverter to convert the updated string values to double as per your desired calculation.

public class ValueConverter : IValueConverter
{
    public object Convert(object value, Type targetType, object parameter, CultureInfo culture)
    {
        try
        {
            double total = 0.0d;
            foreach (var item in value.ToString().Split(';'))
                total += System.Convert.ToDouble(item.Trim());
            return total;
        }
        catch
        {
            return 0.0d;
        }
    }

    public object ConvertBack(object value, Type targetType, object parameter, CultureInfo culture)
    {
        throw new NotImplementedException();
    }
}

Note: You can add the necessary validation for the user values inside your ValueConverter class.
