Auto complete text box problem

[columbos14927]

Hello, Im using the

System.Windows.Controls.AutoCompleteBox

Here is my XAML code:

And here is my code behind the XAML:

public partial class MainWindow : Window
{
private List myList;

    public List MyList
    {
        get { return myList; }
    }

    public MainWindow()
    {
        InitializeComponent();

        myList = new List
                         {
                             "Macedonia",
                             "Madagascar",
                             "Malawi",
                             "Malaysia",
                             "Maldives",
                             "Mali",
                             "Malta",
                             "Marshall Islands",
                             "Mauritania",
                             "Mauritius",
                             "Mexico",
                             "Micronesia",
                             "Moldova",
                             "Monaco",
                             "Mongolia",
                             "Montenegro",
                             "Morocco",
                             "Mozambique",
                             "Myanmar"
                         };
        //autocompleteBox.ItemsSource = myList;
    }
}

When i ran this code the auto complete text box doesn't auto completes. But when i uncomment this line:

//autocompleteBox.ItemsSource = myList;

And removed this one:

ItemsSource="{Binding MyList}"

From the XAML, the auto complete text box works fine. What i'm missing? Thanks

You don't appear to be setting the DataContext[^] anywhere. In the constructor, after you've created the list, try adding:

DataContext = this;
