Adding Foreground Converter to DatagridTextColumn in xaml

Question

I am trying to add a converter to a DataGridTextColumn to convert a foreground brush based on the cell value in the xaml file. DecimalConverter works fine and follows the same pattern.

Here is my xaml ...

<UserControl.Resources> <y:FixedDecimalConverter x:Key="FixedDecimalConverter" /> <y:ForegroundValueConverter x:Key="ForegroundValueConverter" /> </UserControl.Resources> ... <data:DataGridTextColumn Header="Absolute Return" Binding="{Binding totalAbsoluteReturn.value, Converter={StaticResource FixedDecimalConverter}}" Foreground="{Binding totalAbsoluteReturn.value, Converter={StaticResource ForegroundValueConverter}}" /> 

Here is the converter ...

 type ForegroundValueConverter() = interface IValueConverter with member this.Convert(value, targetType, parameter, culture) = let o: obj = upcast new SolidColorBrush(Colors.Red); o member this.ConvertBack(value, targetType, parameter, culture) = raise <| NotImplementedException() 

...

Here is the error message
