In the [parent](https://www.mindstick.com/blog/154/how-to-find-parent-of-control-in-wpf) [grid](https://www.mindstick.com/forum/369/how-can-i-add-a-column-name-to-my-grid) i have a [data](https://www.mindstick.com/articles/13050/salesforce-aiming-to-dominate-predictive-analytics-with-data-science)-grid.when am clicking on the [row](https://www.mindstick.com/forum/1212/this-row-already-belongs-to-this-table) of the datagrid i need to make visible the child grid which contains the [controls](https://www.mindstick.com/articles/66/how-to-create-controls-at-run-time-in-csharp-dot-net) that is binded to the clicked row values.

```
<Grid Grid.Row="1" Visibility={Binding SelectedEmployee, Converter={StaticResource NotNullToVisibilityConverter}} ...>
```

Here is the converter code:

```
public class NotNullToVisibilityConverter : IValueConverter
    {
        public object Convert(object value, Type targetType, object parameter, CultureInfo culture)
        {
            if (value == null)
                return Visibility.Hidden; // or Visibility.Collapsed

            return Visibility.Visible;
        }

        public object ConvertBack(object value, Type targetType, object parameter, CultureInfo culture)
        {
            throw new NotImplementedException();
        }
    }
```
