How do you bind a ComboBox's SelectedItem to an object that is a copy of an item from ItemsSource?

Question

I\'m using the MVVM pattern with WPF and have run into a problem, which I can simplify to the following:

I have a CardType model.

public class CardTy         


        

Answer 1

A workaround that you could do is to bind your SelectedItem to a string (instead of cardType), then create an object of type CardType using this string?
