I have a class named MyWindow the derives from Window. I use the MVVM pattern so in code-behind I have the following field:

public MyViewModel ViewModel = new MyViewModel();

ViewModel contains a collection of Person, and all I’d like to do is to bind a ComboBox to this collection, show Person.Name as the header for each Person.
I would also like to have another field in ViewModel that will be data-bound to the selected item.

Please help me.

    Well firstly you have to set the datacontext of your window to the viewmdodel in the constructor if you have not already done so:

    this.DataContext = MyModelView;

    Then you can set the ComboBox as follows:

    <ComboBox ItemsSource={Binding Persons} SelectedItem={Binding CurrentPerson,Mode=TwoWay} DisplayMemberPath="Name"/>

    Where Persons is the Collection of Persons and Current Person is the Property the selected person will be bound to.
