Question

I am trying to do the following:

Data Binding in Combobox

but with multi-binding.. which means I want more than one binding..

So I can display, for example, fullname as firstname + lastname.

How can we do that ?

Thanks!

Answer 1

Add an ItemTemplate like this:

<ComboBox.ItemTemplate>
    <DataTemplate>
        <TextBlock>
            <TextBlock.Text>
                <MultiBinding StringFormat="{}{0}, {1}">
                    <Binding Path="LastName" />
                    <Binding Path="FirstName" />
                </MultiBinding>
            </TextBlock.Text>
        </TextBlock>
    </DataTemplate>
</ComboBox.ItemTemplate>

(StringFormat Reference)

Sidenote: In actual code i more often use Dean’s method, but this is the MultiBinding way of doing things.
