c# combo box binding

[Pubudini34]

Hey, I have been struggling to bind a combo box and a text box.Finally it happened, but unfortunately the text that i have selected in the combo appears with additional wordings. Ex : I select the word " FISH" from the combo , so i expect that word to appear in text box that i have bind.But instead of that System.Windows.Controls.ComboBoxItem: fish appears.How to solve this.Please tel me how to correct this in design view or by xaml.Thank you

you need to set the path to Selected value in the binding. refer below code

Text="{Binding ElementName=comboBox1, Path=SelectedValue}"/>

in the code expose property as

public List CMBItems
{
get
{
return new List { "a","b","c","d"};
}
}

Hope this will help! Happy Coding :)

The previous problem was solved... ======================================== here comes a new one public DataView MyProperty { get { return theTable.DefaultView; } set { theTable = value; } } Basically what i want to do now is - 1.connect to a data base 2.Get the data and set the data set with MyProperty 3.Bind the Property with ComboBox Final Result -> ComboBox should show all the data retreved from the data base xaml code :
