Question

i have the following combobox

<ComboBox Grid.Column="1" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch"
                              Text="{Binding GroupInvoicing.AdminInvoiceBreakdownMembership}" 
                              SelectedValuePath="Tag" SelectedValue="{Binding Path=GroupInvoicing.AdminInvoiceBreakdownMembership}">
                        <ComboBoxItem Content="None" Tag="N" />
                        <ComboBoxItem Content="Level of Cover" Tag="L" />
                        <ComboBoxItem Content="Members" Tag="M" />
                        <ComboBoxItem Content="Payment Type" Tag="P" />
                        <ComboBoxItem Content="Work Area" Tag="W" />
                    </ComboBox>

althogh the GroupInvoicing.AdminInvoiceBreakdownMembership comes back with “L” it does not select the coresponding text and doesn’t let me to select anything

d:DataContext="{d:DesignInstance ViewModels:CompanyInvoiceConfigAdminViewModel}" 

in viewmodel i have

    public GroupInvoicing GroupInvoicing
    {
        get
        {
            return this.groupInvoicing;
        }

        set
        {
            if (value != null)
            {
                this.groupInvoicing = value;
                this.OnPropertyChanged(() => this.GroupInvoicing);
            }
        }
    }

AdminInvoiceBreakdownMembership is a string

I believe you can’t bind Text and SelectedValue to the same property. Try to remove the Text binding.
