WPF
Combobox – using objects
Posted by: MarkWPF
I have seen a number of people getting confused about how to set up the various combobox properties for data binding.
Lets say you have a Person object, with a member called Employee which is a reference to an Employee object
When you want to bind to an Person object with an object reference you set:
- SelectedItem – this points to the Employee member (typically set to {Binding Path=Employee})
- DisplayMemberPath – point this to the member of the Employee that displays something meaningful, like Name. This will then get displayed in the drop down.
- ItemsSource – point this to the ObservableCollection that holds the list of Employees
This is all you need to do
