I am having a difficult time trying to bind my property which is of type List to my combobox through XAML.
public List<string> MyProperty { get; set; }
The following XAML binding does not work:
<ComboBox Name="cboDomainNames" ItemsSource="{Binding Path=MyProperty}"/>
But the following assignment:
cboDomainNames.ItemsSource = MyProperty;
works perfectly. What i am missing here?
Posting my comment back to mark the answer.
My DataContext was set, BUT it was set after InitializeComponent(). I thought that could be the problem. Then I realized that as I am binding through xaml, when the view loads, the binding happens to the property which is empty.
The property gets populated when the view is ready after its loaded (i.e on _presenter.OnViewReady()). Since it’s not an observable collection nothing gets added to the combobox. Specifying it from my code behind works, because at that time the data exists in the property.
