Parse event of the property binding is not fired when you change the ToggleState value of RadToggleButton: Workaround: private void Form1_Shown(object sender, EventArgs e) { Binding b = new Binding("ToggleState", vm, "IsToggleSet", true, DataSourceUpdateMode.OnPropertyChanged); b.Format += new ConvertEventHandler(b_Format); b.Parse += new ConvertEventHandler(b_Parse); radToggleButton1.DataBindings.Add(b); } void b_Parse(object sender, ConvertEventArgs e) { if (e.DesiredType != typeof(bool) || !(e.Value is ToggleState)) return; ToggleState state = (ToggleState)e.Value; e.Value = (state == ToggleState.On) ? true : false; } void b_Format(object sender, ConvertEventArgs e) { if (e.DesiredType != typeof(ToggleState) || !(e.Value is bool)) return; bool isToggleOn = (bool)e.Value; e.Value = isToggleOn ? ToggleState.On : ToggleState.Off; }
