WPF: Binding ComboBox inside of ListBox or ListView

[Shimon Sim]

I can't figure out how to bind ComboBox inside of ListView or ListBox.
How do I set ComboBox.ItemsSource property?
I don't see the way to do it in code and not in XAML.

I have Collection that is bound to ListBox / ListView and string[] that
should be bound to ComboBox.
Thanks,
Shimon.

Shimon,

It shouldn't be too hard, actually. How are you currently trying to do
it (through XAML/code, and provide the XAML/code)?

I tried already few different ways with the same results - combo is empty.
<Window

xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"

xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"

xmlnsial_Services="clr-namespaceial.Services;assembly=Dial.Services"

xmlnsial_ManagerView_Services="clr-namespaceial.ManagerView.Services;assembly=Dial.ManagerView.Services"

x:Class="ManagerView.UploadListWindow"

x:Name="Window"


Title="UploadListWindow"

Width="504" Height="466" Background="#FF000000" Loaded="Window_Loaded">

<Window.Resources>


<ObjectDataProvider x:Key="MappingBindingListDS" d:IsDataSource="True"
ObjectType="{x:Type Dial_ManagerView_Services:MappingExtenderBindingList}"/>

<!--Dial_ManagerView_Services:StringCollection x:Key="StringCollectionDS"
/--> - this was one of the options.


<DataTemplate x:Key="MappingBindingListTemplate" >

<Grid Width="321" >

<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>

<ColumnDefinition Width="0.491*"/>

<ColumnDefinition Width="0.509*"/>

</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>

<Grid.RowDefinitions>

<RowDefinition Height="0.603*"/>

</Grid.RowDefinitions>

<TextBlock x:Name="textBlockSource" Grid.ColumnSpan="1" Grid.Row="0"
Grid.RowSpan="1" Text="{Binding Path=Source}"/>

//HERE Few versions of the same line

//1) I just added available fields to the collection itself (and to each
item just to experiment

<ComboBox HorizontalAlignment="Left" x:Name="comboDestination"
VerticalAlignment="Bottom" Grid.Column="1" Grid.Row="0"
ItemsSource="{Binding Source={StaticResource StringCollectionDS}"/>

2)

<ComboBox HorizontalAlignment="Left" x:Name="comboDestination"
VerticalAlignment="Bottom" Grid.Column="1" Grid.Row="0"
ItemsSource="{Binding Source={StaticResource MappingBindingListDS} />

</Grid>

</DataTemplate>



</Window.Resources>

<Grid x:Name="LayoutRoot">



<ListBox Margin="20,152,36,47" x:Name="listBoxBindings"
IsSynchronizedWithCurrentItem="True" ItemTemplate="{DynamicResource
MappingBindingListTemplate}" ItemsSource="{Binding Mode=OneWay,
Source={StaticResource MappingBindingListDS}}"/>

</Grid>

</Window>

In code I just do listBoxBindings.ItemsSource=<collection>. I get with
TextBlock bound but not combobox.

Thanks
