Question

I have a WPF application built with MVVM and am trying to display a custom class in a combobox. I am still getting the Namespace.Asset despite overriding the ToString Method to something easier on the eyes. What am I doing wrong?
XAML code

<ComboBox ItemsSource="{Binding Drivers}" SelectedItem="{Binding SelectedDriver}" Grid.Row="20" Grid.Column="1" Grid.ColumnSpan="3"/>

ViewModel Code

    public List<Driver> Drivers
    {
        get
        {
            return this.drivers;
        }
        set
        {
            this.drivers = value;
            this.RaisePropertyChanged("Drivers");
        }
    }

    public Driver SelectedDriver
    {
        get
        {
            return this.selectedDriver;
        }
        set
        {
            this.selectedDriver = value;
            this.RaisePropertyChanged("SelectedDriver");
        }
    }

One of the custom classes code with overriden ToString

public class ExperimentalDriver : Driver
{
    public override DriverResponse GetDriverResponse(double time)
    {
         ... random unrelated code....
    }

    public override string ToString()
    {
        return "Experimental Driver";
    }
}

You might need to set the ToString() on the base class

Something like:

public class Driver
{
    protected string displayName;

    public override string ToString()
    {
        return displayName;
    }
}

Then your class constructors for your sub classes would simply set the displayName

public class ExperimentalDriver : Driver
{
    public ExperimentalDriver()
    {
        displayName = "Experimental Driver";
    }
}
