I have a ListView in WPF that is databound to a basic table that I pull from the database. The code for the ListView is as follows:

<ListView Canvas.Left='402' Canvas.Top='480' Height='78' ItemsSource='{Binding}' Name='lsvViewEditCardPrint' Width='419'>    <ListView.View>       <GridView>          <GridViewColumn DisplayMemberBinding='{Binding Path=IdCst}'>Set</GridViewColumn>          <GridViewColumn DisplayMemberBinding='{Binding Path=Language}'>Language</GridViewColumn>          <GridViewColumn DisplayMemberBinding='{Binding Path=Number}'>Number</GridViewColumn>          <GridViewColumn DisplayMemberBinding='{Binding Path=IdArt}'>Artwork</GridViewColumn>       </GridView>    </ListView.View> </ListView>

The IdCst column is a foreign key to a separate table, and I’d like to display the actual name field from that table instead of just the Id. Does anybody know how to set a databinding, or is there an event, such as OnItemDataBound, that I could intercept to modify the display?

    …I assumed the foreign key should be bound to the ‘SelectedValue’ property, and there is an ItemSource that I can bind to my fact table so the drop down is populated.

    At this point my dropdown worked, but nothing would appear in the combobox. I finally noticed a ‘SelectedItemPath’ property – I assumed this would be the name of the field in my dropdown that was associated to my foreign key. Sure enough, that’s exactly what it is.
