Title Body

I want to get my ComboBox in XAML to bind to my List collection of custom objects in code behind. Currently the ComboBox lists for each entry dpwpf.Contact which is my {namespace}.{classname} . What do I need to put in the XAML to tell it to list out, e.g. LastName + FirstName? I know it's something like {Binding Path=... Value=...} but I can't get it. XAML: <Window x:Class="dpwpf.Window1" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation" xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml" Title="Window1" Height="300" Width="300"> <StackPanel> <StackPanel> <TextBlock Text="Select the contact:"/> <ComboBox Name="theContactList"/> </StackPanel> </StackPanel> </Window> Code Behind: namespace dpwpf { public partial class Window1 : Window { public Window1() { InitializeComponent(); StoreDB db = new StoreDB(); List<Contact> contacts = db.GetContacts() theContactList.ItemsSource = contacts.ToList(); } } } Answer: <Window x:Class="dpwpf.Window1" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation" xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml" Title="Window1" Height="300" Width="300" xmlns:local="clr-namespace:dpwpf"> <Window.Resources> <DataTemplate DataType="{x:Type local:Contact}"> <StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal"> <TextBlock Text="{Binding LastName}"/> <TextBlock Text=" "/> <TextBlock Text="{Binding FirstName}"/> </StackPanel> </DataTemplate> </Window.Resources>
