Question

I am trying my hands on WPF. I am trying to bind a ComboBox with List<MyClass> where MyClass is user defined class. I want to set SelectedValuePath property of ComboBox so that, value of ComboBox item represents object of MyClass.

I tried setting SelectedValuePath property to . and this, but no luck. Can anybody suggest me the way to achieve it?

Example Code :

Class MyClass
{
   public int ID {get; set;}
   public string Name {get; set;}
}

List<MyClass> lst = new List<MyClass>();

ComboBox cmb = new ComboBox();
cmb.DataContext = lst;
cmb.DisplayMemberPath = "Name";
// Here I want object of MyClass (which is bound to this item) itself should be assigned as value.
cmb.SelectedValuePath = "????"; 

Answer 1

Use cmb.SelectedItem instead which returns an object, cast it as MyClass and do not set SelectedValuePath at all
