[Feature] More SwitchPresenter Samples

[hawkerm]

Describe the problem

SwitchPresenter is powerful, but there are complexities when trying to use it with certain types.

Describe the solution

• Show using {x:Null} as a case (I know this is working, at least with a nullable ? type).

• Show casing on an integer (I don't know if this is working?).

• Using with a NavigationView for page selection vs. Frame

• Not sure of other potential scenarios?

An example with animations for the switch content would be nice

On a similar note, the docs show simple matches for strings and enums but how do you specify a complex type as a string in xaml for matching a case?

E.g. If you have a ComboBox displaying a list of a complex type, the ComboBox is using ToString() of the type but when the SwitchPresenter is binding to the SelectedItem of the ComboBox, it is getting the object itself so then how to specify as a string in the case for matching?

I'll answer my own question for anyone else that has the same issue: you need to implement an IValueConverter for the binder. This doc helped:

Moved over to the new repo. I know @niels9001 just added a Loading/Animation sample, so we have done a bit of this. I was realizing that it could be handy to just have a base Boolean one as well. Will see if I can find an afternoon to try and create a few and improve stuff, as this is a powerful tool that can be used in a variety of ways.
