Binding WPF combobox to a user settings property

Question

I\'ve a combobox in WPF with 4 static values in it:

Answer 1

Since you don't add strings, but ComboBoxItems to your ComboBox, you would also have to set its SelectedValuePath property:

    Alt
    Shift
    Ctrl
    Win

Alternatively add strings to the ComboBox, and use SelectedItem instead of SelectedValue:

xmlns:sys="clr-namespace:System;assembly=mscorlib"
...

    Alt
    Shift
    Ctrl
    Win

Note also that since WPF 4.5 you may write the Binding like this:

SelectedItem="{Binding Path=(properties:Settings.Default).KeyModifier, Mode=TwoWay}"
