Binding data to ComboBox WPF

Question

I am newbie to WPF, and needs help to bind data into the ComboBox. The xaml file contains the tag below.

Answer 1

I assume your Inbox class consists of two properties (for simplicity), but there may be any number of them:

public class Inbox
{
    public int ID { get; set; }
    public string Text { get; set; }
}

You write a DataTemplate, for example:

    
        
            
            :
            
        
    

Then correct your ComboBox declaration like:

Finally you set DataContext of your ComboBox to your List:

public void FillInboxes(List inboxes)
{
   _currentInbox.DataContext = inboxes;
}

EDIT: As you've asked for a simpler solution, you can just override ToString() method of your Inbox class:

protected override string ToString()
{
    return ID.ToString() + ":" + Text;
}
