Question

This might be something very straight forward and I really think it should work as is, but it doesn’t… I have the following scenario:

var itemSource = new Binding
{
    Path = new PropertyPath("ItemList"),
    Mode = BindingMode.OneTime
};       

comboBox.SetBinding(ItemsControl.ItemsSourceProperty, itemSource);

ItemList is simply:

public IList<string> ItemList
{
   get
   {
        return Enum.GetNames(typeof(OptionsEnum)).ToList();
   }
}

I would have expected this to bind the list of items to the Combobox, and when I do it in XAML it works fine, but I have to do it in code behind…

Any ideas?

I took the following comment as my answer:

I’d create a property in the view
model that checked the setting and
exposed the appropriate list rather
than screwing around with code-behind.
It’s much easier to test. – Robert
