QuestionWPF DataGridComboBoxColumn Binding Issue Pin
Saved By Grace28-Feb-19 4:47
Saved By Grace28-Feb-19 4:47 
I am building an application in WPF for the first time. The application is intended to track employees who are hired by the company, track the hire type (e.g…assignment category…full time, part time, seasonal, intern). In addition, it will track which department to which an employee is assigned during their tenure with the company. Some employees are exposed to several different departments while employed in order to more fully round out their training or due to work loads.

The backend for this application is built in SQL Server and contains three tables. They are company employees, company departments, and assignment categories. Each obviously has its own primary key.

I have created a datagrid that, via Linq to SQL Classes, displays data from the company employees table. Each of the columns in the datagrid is a DataGridTextColumn except for one which is a DataGridComboBoxColumn. The DataGridTextColumn’s work fine. However, I cannot seem to get the binding correct. The column appears in the datagrid and is a working combobox. The issue is that I cannot find how to populate the combox with values from which the end user will select. This combobox will allow the end user to choose which under which assignment category an employee has been hired.

As an end result, this application will be used by the company owner to keep track of the number of employees that he has on hand and show who will be leaving each month due to being a seasonal worker or an intern.

Below is the code behind and the xaml. Please note that I have spent several days now researching this topic and cannot find anything that I can make work. I am confident that this is because I am just learning xaml and c#.

Can someone help me understand what I am doing wrong, please?
