@sa-he @Karnah @SeriousM please add your feedback

[SeriousM]

What is Binding? I don't know it as wpf is not my area I work with since a long time. Could you explain it to me a bit?

[sa-he]

Great! Go for it.

Binding is the possibility to connect the view with a property in the viewmodel. I was not aware that you are not working with wpf since a long time. I think than it will be very hard for you to fully get the idea of this tricky solution.
When you stop using wpf. should I stop contacting you about this library?

[SeriousM]

Well, I thought Binding is a new class in wpf and I wasn't aware that a direct usage of Binding was possible.
I stopped using wpf years ago but I'm still very interested in every change this library gets because it's still a part of my history (I'm subscribed to all of them).
Therefore I'm not the best guy to ask for wpf opinions but about this library which IMHO is not mutual exclusive.

This is still not really possible but I implemented this trick that I generate Attached DependencyProperties on the fly and bind the Binding that I only can fetch via the constructor to the DPs to fetch the values.

@sa-he please have a look at the "full" sample. I have also extended the converter so that not only strings can be translated. If this is fine for you please close your PR #173

[SeriousM]

@konne i see! this is a really neat solution!
BTW, I'm very happy that the project found such a great developer like you!

[Karnah]

I think here can be used "this". It will allow to create less objects. Also this code can be moved in separate class "BaseConverter" and used here and in TranslateConverter

[Karnah]

This is a wonderful change! There are many places in our project where we use LocProxy because LocExt doesn't support bindings!

@Karnah thanks for you improvement idea. Is already integrated. My plan is to add the docu changes and make a preRelease this week. I appreciate your feedback of usage in your project
It would be great if you can make a first test with this branch.

[Karnah]
