Question

I am displaying many rows of data in a list view that is bound to a list of a custom class. The custom class has a property called type. The number of allowable Types is limited and I would like to limit the user to making changes by selecting from a combobox. I tried adding a combobox to the base class but that did not display as a combobox in the list view.

Found this online and seemed like a good starting point to begin working with DataTemplates.
