title: Binding data to ComboBox WPF
body: <p>I am newbie to WPF, and needs help to bind data into the ComboBox. The xaml file contains the tag below.</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;UserControl x:Class="SKAT.Postfordeler.Client.UI.View.ChooseInboxView"
           xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
           xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
           xmlns:mc="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/markup-compatibility/2006" 
           xmlns:d="http://schemas.microsoft.com/expression/blend/2008" 
           mc:Ignorable="d" 
           d:DesignHeight="42" d:DesignWidth="598"&gt;
  
  
  &lt;Grid&gt;
      &lt;StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal"&gt;
          &lt;ComboBox Name="_currentInbox" Width="180"  Margin="5" Height="22" DataContext="{Binding}"  /&gt;
          &lt;Label Content="Et job kører allerede i denne indbakke (1500 ud af 1700 poster behandlet)" Name="_currentProcess"  Margin="5" Height="25" /&gt;
      &lt;/StackPanel&gt;
  
  &lt;/Grid&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p></p>
  
  <pre><code>//Inbox class , this class was implemented in seperate project
  namespace SKAT.Postfordeler.Shared.DataTypes
  {
     [DataContract]
     public class Inbox
      {
         [DataMember]
         public String Id { get; set; }
         [DataMember]
         public String Folder { get; set; }
         [DataMember]
         public Rule Rules { get; set; }
      }
  }
  
  //This code is located in the controller, the Activate method will fire when the MainWindow was executed
  
   public void Activate()
          {
              var configuration = _configurationManager.GetConfiguration();// this method gets the xaml file settings
  
              _chooseInboxView.FillInboxes(configuration.Inboxes); // Inboxes data binds to combobox
  
          }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>and in the View code behind, I created a method to bind the data which contains a type of list</p>
  
  <pre><code>public void FillInboxes(List&lt;Inbox&gt; inboxes)
  {
     DataContext = inboxes;
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But it won't works,Any help please?</p>
