Question

I grabbed this code from MSDN. What Im trying to do is similar, but use a list instead of three different strings. so say

List strList = new Li         


        

Answer 1

Set the items programmatically:

Code-behind:

    private void PopulateComboBox()
    {
        cBox.ItemsSource = new List { "Item1", "Item2", "Item3"};
    }

XAML:

Bind to a collection of items:

    public class DummyClass
    {
        public int Value { get; set; }
        public string DisplayValue { get; set;}
    }

    public ObservableCollection DummyClassCollection
    {
        get
        {
            return new ObservableCollection
            {
                new DummyClass{DisplayValue = "Item1", Value = 1},
                new DummyClass{DisplayValue = "Item2", Value = 2},
                new DummyClass{DisplayValue = "Item3", Value = 3},
                new DummyClass{DisplayValue = "Item4", Value = 4},
            };
        }
    }

XAML:
