MultiDataTrigger In Wpf:-

If you want to change the properties of a control based on more than  one property we have to use MultiDataTrigger.The following example display the text based on user role and designation.

->Create a user class with properties UserName,Address,Role and Designation.

 public class User

 {

        public string UserName { get; set; }

        public string Address { get; set; }

        public string Role { get; set; }

        public string Designation { get; set; }

 }

->Add the MultiDataTrigger.

<Window x:Class="WpfMultiDataTriggers.MainWindow"

        xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"

        xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"

        Title="MainWindow" Height="350" Width="525" Loaded="Window_Loaded">

    <Grid>

        <Grid.Resources>

            <!--Add the style for label-->

            <Style TargetType="{x:Type Label}" x:Key="lbStyle">

                <Style.Triggers>

                    <!--Check the user role and designation-->

                    <MultiDataTrigger>

                        <MultiDataTrigger.Conditions>

                            <Condition Binding="{Binding Path=Role}" Value="Admin"></Condition>

                            <Condition Binding="{Binding Path=Designation}" Value="Professor"></Condition>

                        </MultiDataTrigger.Conditions>

                        <Setter Property="Content" Value="You have administration rights."></Setter>

                        <Setter Property="Background" Value="Green"></Setter>

                    </MultiDataTrigger>

                </Style.Triggers>

            </Style>

        </Grid.Resources>

        <ListBox Name="lstUsers">

            <ListBox.ItemTemplate>

                <DataTemplate>

                    <Grid >

                        <Grid.ColumnDefinitions>

                            <ColumnDefinition Width="100"></ColumnDefinition>

                            <ColumnDefinition Width="100"></ColumnDefinition>

                            <ColumnDefinition Width="200"></ColumnDefinition>

                            <ColumnDefinition Width="100"></ColumnDefinition>

                        </Grid.ColumnDefinitions>

                        <!--Bind the user name-->

                        <Label Grid.Column="0" Content="{Binding UserName}"></Label>

                        <!--Bind the address-->

                        <Label Grid.Column="1" Content="{Binding Address}"></Label>

                        <!--Apply the style resource for label-->

                        <Label Grid.Column="2" Style="{StaticResource lbStyle}"></Label>

                    </Grid>

                </DataTemplate>

            </ListBox.ItemTemplate>

        </ListBox>

    </Grid>

</Window>

->Bind the listbox in the window load event.

private void Window_Loaded(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)

{

      //User list

      List<User> lstUser = new List<User>();

      //Adding users.

      lstUser.Add(new User() { UserName = "David", Address = "Mumbai", Role = "Admin", Designation = "Professor" });

      lstUser.Add(new User() { UserName = "Anderson", Address = "Pune", Role = "Guest", Designation = "Clerk" });

       lstUser.Add(new User() { UserName = "Andri", Address = "Mumbai", Role = "Admin", Designation = "Clerk" });

       //Set the item source here.

       lstUsers.ItemsSource = lstUser;

}
