Answer 1

I think your best bet is to use a Converter. See this blog post for a sample for converting a result into a boolean.

<DataTrigger
    Binding="{Binding Path=x, Converter={StaticResource IsNotNullConverter}}"
    Value="true">

If you want to go with triggers, you could write your own or leverage existing ones. If you're doing MVVM, just bind the view to a property on your VM that does the logic for you.

Do you write that value converter library? Can I contribute some? – Hema
