I am having a difficult time trying to bind my property which is of type List to my combobox through XAML.
public List MyProperty { get; set; } >
Assume you have a List called Foos in your window / page. Foo has a property Name. Now you set up the binding in XAML as follows:
List
Foos
Foo
Name
This is based on this SO question. Read this (WPF DataBinding overview) as a good foundation for databinding in WPF.
