    Conditional Formatter

    Conditional formatting occurs on any placeholder that contains a pipe character (|) after the colon (:). To invoke the Conditional Formatter explicitly use the name "conditional" or "cond". It can also be used implicitly when no name is provided.

    Data Type Syntax Example
    Number (Integer, Double, etc...) {0:one|default} {0} {0:item|items}
    {0} {0:item|items} {0:no items|one item|many items}
    {0:negative|zero|one|default} {0:negative items|no items|one item|many items}
    bool {0:true|false} Enabled? {0:Yes|No}
    string {0:default|null or empty} Text: {0:{0}|No text to display}
    DateTime {0:before|after} (as compared to Date.Now) My birthday {0:was on|will be on} {0:MMMM d}
    TimeSpan {0:negative|positive} My birthday {0:was {0} ago|will be in {0} from now}
    {0:negative|zero|positive} My birthday {0:was {0} ago|is today!|will be in {0} from now}
    object {0:default|nothing} Property: {0:{0}|(Nothing)}

    Each parameter is separated by "|". The comparison is followed by a "?" and then the text. The last (default) entry does not contain a comparison nor a "?".

    The following comparisons are supported:

    • >=
    • >
    • =
    • <
    • <=
    • !=

    To combine comparisons, use "&" for AND or "/" for OR.

    Example Smart String Arguments Result
    {0:cond:>10?Greater Than 10|=10?Equals to 10|Less than 10} 5 Less than 10
    {Age:cond:>=55?Senior Citizen|>=30?Adult|>=18?Young Adult|>12?Teenager|>2?Child|Baby}
    new { Name = "Jim", Age = 32, Address = new { City = "New York", State = "NY" } }
