Windows Phone Multibinding:cimbalino Toolkit

Support for multibinding in WPF and WIN8

What's the use of this, citing the MSDN example http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.data.multibinding.aspx:

MultiBinding allows you to bind a binding target to a list of the source properties and then apply logic to produce a Value with the given inputs. This is example demonstrates how to use multibinding.

In the following example, Namelistdata refers to a collection of PersonName objects, which are-objects that contain two PR Operties, FirstName and LastName. The following example produces a TextBlock that shows the ' the ' and last names ' a person with the ' last name '.

 <textblock name= "TextBox2" datacontext= "{StaticResource namelistdata}" > <TextBlock.Text> <multibinding converter= "{StaticResource mynameconverter}" converterparameter= "Formatlastfirst" > <binding path= "FirstName"/> <binding path= "LastName"/> </MULTIBINDING&G
    
  T </TextBlock.Text> </textblock>

{Public
    
    object Convert (object[] values, Type targettype, Object parameter, CultureInfo culture)
    
    {
    
        string name;
    
     
    
        Switch ((string) parameter)
    
        {case
    
            "Formatlastfirst":
    
                name = values[1] + "," + values[0];
    
                break;
    
            Case "Formatnormal":
    
            default:
    
                name = Values[0] + "" + values[1];
    
                break;
