List of default converters used by WPF?

Question

Where can one find a list of default converters for WPF?

After looking into Google, I couldn't find any detailed list of what is actually included in WPF, particularly the MSDN docs. Only found:

Thanks, but do you have a source link? I just would like to be sure that there is no other converter hanging around without being caught =) – Damascus Oct 19 '12 at 15:29

Actually I just used Reflector and checked for IValueConverter implementations ;) That's all I found. I'm currently checking again to see if I didnt forget anyone ;) – Sisyphe Oct 19 '12 at 15:30
Edit : ok I triple checked, that's everything present in the .NET 4.0 framework. – Sisyphe Oct 19 '12 at 15:44
Nice stuff! Just out of curiosity, do you know if some converters were added to .NET 4.5 ? – Damascus Oct 19 '12 at 17:47
Let me check. Please consider flaggin as answer if you are satisfied with the list :) - Edit : NOthing new in .NET4.5 ! – Sisyphe Oct 19 '12 at 17:56
Awesome answer! Thank you! Will keep that as a bookmark. So overall we can say that the included converters are... not that useful. A basic string to double convertor would've been obvious imho – Damascus Oct 19 '12 at 21:07
Many thanks. Goodness only knows why Microsoft don't feel this is something that deserves to be documented more clearly! – Richard J Foster Jun 22 '14 at 21:39
@Damascus: _"A basic string to double convertor would've been obvious"_ -- since WPF already automatically handles bindings between `string` and `double`, how would a converter help? – Peter Duniho Jun 22 '15 at 22:18
A basic cast float to integer would have been nice as well – Epirocks Sep 13 '17 at 14:00
