Use converter on bound items in combobox

Question

i have a combobox which is bound to a datatable column like this:

ComboBox.DataContext = DataDataTable;                
ComboBox.DisplayMemberPath = DataData         


        

Answer 1

You can modify the ItemTemplate of the ComboBox and use your converter:

<ComboBox ItemsSource="{Binding}">
  <ComboBox.ItemTemplate>
    <DataTemplate>
      <TextBlock Text="{Binding Converter={StaticResource IDPrefixValueConverter}}"/>
    </DataTemplate>
  </ComboBox.ItemTemplate>
</ComboBox>

Each item is bound to the items in the ItemsSource. By using the converter in the binding you are able to perform the conversion you want.
