DataTrigger where value is NOT null?

Question

I know that I can make a setter that checks to see if a value is NULL and do something. Example:

<TextBlock>
  <TextBlock.Style>
    <Style>
      <Style.Triggers>
        <DataTrigger Binding="{Binding SomeField}" Value="{x:Null}">
          <Setter Property="TextBlock.Text" Value="It's NULL Baby!" />
        </DataTrigger>
      </Style.Triggers>
    </Style>
  </TextBlock.Style>
</TextBlock>

But how can I check for a "not" value... as in "NOT NULL", or "NOT = 3"? Is that possible in XAML?

Results: Thanks for your answers... I knew I could do a value converter (which means I would have to go in code, and that would not be pure XAML as I hoped for). However, that does answer the question that effectively "no" you can't do it in pure XAML. The answer selected, however, shows probably the best way to create that kind of functionality. Good find.

You can use an IValueConverter for this:

<TextBlock>
    <TextBlock.Resources>
        <conv:IsNullConverter x:Key="isNullConverter"/>
    </TextBlock.Resources>
    <TextBlock.Style>
        <Style>
            <Style.Triggers>
                <DataTrigger Binding="{Binding SomeField, Converter={StaticResource isNullConverter}}" Value="False">
                    <Setter Property="TextBlock.Text" Value="It's NOT NULL Baby!"/>
                </DataTrigger>
            </Style.Triggers>
        </Style>
    </TextBlock.Style>
</TextBlock>

Where IsNullConverter is defined elsewhere (and conv is set to reference its namespace):

public class IsNullConverter : IValueConverter
{
    public object Convert(object value, Type targetType, object parameter, CultureInfo culture)
    {
        return (value == null);
    }

    public object ConvertBack(object value, Type targetType, object parameter, CultureInfo culture)
    {
        throw new InvalidOperationException("IsNullConverter can only be used OneWay.");
    }
}

A more general solution would be to implement an IValueConverter that checks for equality with the ConverterParameter, so you can check against anything, and not just null.
