Boolean CommandParameter in XAML

I have this code (which works just right):

<KeyBinding Key="Enter" Command="{Binding ReturnResultCommand}">
    <KeyBinding.CommandParameter>
        <s:Boolean>
 开发者_StackOverflow中文版           True
        </s:Boolean>
    </KeyBinding.CommandParameter>
</KeyBinding>

Where "s" is of course the System namespace.

But this command is called quite a few times and it really inflates otherwise rather simple XAML code. Is this really the shortest notation of boolean command parameter in XAML (other than splitting the command into several commands)?

This might be a bit of a hack but you can derive from the KeyBinding class:

public class BoolKeyBinding : KeyBinding
{
    public bool Parameter
    {
        get { return (bool)CommandParameter; }
        set { CommandParameter = value; }
    }
}

Usage:

<local:BoolKeyBinding ... Parameter="True"/>

And another not so weird solution:

xmlns:s="clr-namespace:System;assembly=mscorlib"

<Application.Resources>
    <!-- ... -->
    <s:Boolean x:Key="True">True</s:Boolean>
    <s:Boolean x:Key="False">False</s:Boolean>
</Application.Resources>

Usage:

<KeyBinding ... CommandParameter="{StaticResource True}"/>

---

The easiest is to define the following in the Resources

<System:Boolean x:Key="FalseValue">False</System:Boolean>
<System:Boolean x:Key="TrueValue">True</System:Boolean>

and use it like:

<Button CommandParameter="{StaticResource FalseValue}"/>

---

Or, maybe that:

<Button.CommandParameter>
    <s:Boolean>True</s:Boolean>
</Button.CommandParameter>

Where s is the namespace:

 xmlns:s="clr-namespace:System;assembly=mscorlib"

I just found an even more generic solution with this markup extension:

public class SystemTypeExtension : MarkupExtension
{
    private object parameter;

    public int Int{set { parameter = value; }}
    public double Double { set { parameter = value; } }
    public float Float { set { parameter = value; } }
    public bool Bool { set { parameter = value; } }
    // add more as needed here

    public override object ProvideValue(IServiceProvider serviceProvider)
    {
        return parameter;
    }
}

Usage ("wpf:" is the namespace where the extension lives in):

<KeyBinding Key="F8" Command="{Binding SomeCommand}" CommandParameter="{wpf:SystemType Bool=True}"/>

You even get the options True and False after typing Bool= and type safety!

---

Perhaps something like

<KeyBinding Key="Enter" Command="{Binding ReturnResultCommand}"
    CommandParameter="{x:Static StaticBoolean.True}" />

where StaticBoolean is

public static class StaticBoolean
{
    public static bool True
    {
        get { return true; }
    }
}

---

Here's another approach where you define your own markup extensions that return True or False (or any other value you wish). Then you simply use them right in XAML like any other markup extension:

public class TrueExtension : MarkupExtension {
    public override object ProvideValue(IServiceProvider serviceProvider) => true;
}

public class FalseExtension : MarkupExtension {
    public override object ProvideValue(IServiceProvider serviceProvider) => false;
}

public class DoubleExtension : MarkupExtension {
    public DoubleExtension(){};
    public DoubleExtension(double value) => Value = value;
    public double Value { get; set; }
    public override object ProvideValue(IServiceProvider serviceProvider) => Value;
}

You then use them like this (assuming your imported namespace is mx):

<KeyBinding Key="Enter"
    Command="{Binding ReturnResultCommand}"
    CommandParameter="{mx:True}" />

<Button Visibility="{Binding SomeProperty,
    Converter={SomeBoolConverter},
    ConverterParameter={mx:True}}">

<!-- This guarantees the value passed is a double equal to 42.5 -->
<Button Visibility="{Binding SomeProperty,
    Converter={SomeDoubleConverter},
    ConverterParameter={mx:Double 42.5}}">

I actually define lots of custom MarkupExtension classes for a lot of common things that I don't want to necessarily store in my resources.
