Why do you want all 5 ComboBoxes with the same content? Why do you want to hard-code the ComboBox content in Xaml?

When you get that error it means you have the Content set both as an attribute and in the body of the XAML.

The XAML you have is incomplete so I can't say 100% where it is. As an example, this will cause an error:

<ComboBoxItem Content="d">e</ComboBoxItem>

In this case you're trying to set Content in two places "d" and "e" so you get the error.
