ComboBox Binding to XML in WPF

Question

I know this question has been asked to death, but I have tried lots of the suggested answers I have found and the Combo Box is still not populating when I start the WPF in VS201

Answer 1

As for me, simpliest way is XmlSerializer.

public class Person
{
    public string personName;
    public string personEmail;
    public string personReports;
}

public class People
{
    [XmlElement("Person")]
    public List<Person> Persons;
}

Load data:

var people = (People)new XmlSerializer(typeof(People)).Deserialize(stream);
employeeNameBox.ItemsSource = people.Persons;

ComboBox code:

<ComboBox x:Name="employeeNameBox" IsReadOnly="False" HorizontalAlignment="Left" IsEditable="True" DisplayMemberPath="personName">
