ThicknessConverter is used to convert some content to a Thickness.

The following code snippet reads a ListBox item and changes its value to a Thickness and sets Thickness of a Border.

 private void changeThickness(object sender, SelectionChangedEventArgs args)
        {
            ListBoxItem li = ((sender as ListBox).SelectedItem as ListBoxItem);
            ThicknessConverter myThicknessConverter = new ThicknessConverter();
            Thickness th1 = (Thickness)myThicknessConverter.ConvertFromString(li.Content.ToString());
            border1.BorderThickness = th1;
            bThickness.Text = "Border.BorderThickness =" + li.Content.ToString();
        }
