post your xaml and the binding that doesn't work, and lets go from there.

You are binding to the SelectedItem, but what sort of collection does the ComboBox contain? Is it a collection of strings, or a collection of a class?

Hi!

Thanks you gave me an ide of what was wrong, it was a collection of a class, but now i have converted it to a colleciton of strings and now the binding works like a want it to :)

If you have a collection of a class, can you still do this binding some other way?

Yes, you can you just have to bind to the specific property of the class. Something like SelectedCustomer.Name etc.

You can override the ToString property of the Class...

Hi,

If you are using ComboBoxItem as Selected Item then you need to set SelectedItem.Content then only it will Bind.
