This more a binding option than a converter.
Set a specific value when the binding value is Null.

The ConverterParameter property can not be bound because it is not a dependency property.
Use MultiValueConverter as an alternative. |

<TextBlock Visibility="{Binding MyList, Converter={StaticResource ListToVisibilityConverter}, ConverterParameter=Inverted}" />

{
visibleFlag = itemCollection.Cast<object>().Any();
}
else
{
return DependencyProperty.UnsetValue;
}
if (parameter != null && Enum.TryParse(parameter.ToString(), true, out Parameters invert) && invert == Parameters.Inverted)
{
visibleFlag = !visibleFlag;
