    copied!<p>This may either be a silly question or i've searched for the wrong words:<br> I have a ComboBox and want to display doubles using a custom converter (showing the equivalent fraction).<br> In the DataTemplate i have to specify a DataType, which is Double, but i don't know how to specity it. I'm sure there is a simple way to do so!</p> <p>Adding the System-namespace to the window doesn't compile</p> <pre><code>&lt;Window ... xmlns:sys="clr-namespace:System" ...&gt; </code></pre> <p>Simply typing Double or System.Double in DataType doesn't either.</p> <p>And defining a ViewModel for a simple Double-Type can't be the solution either, can it?!</p> <p>This is my code so far:</p> <pre><code>&lt;ComboBox ItemsSource="{Binding Gains}" SelectedItem="{Binding Gain, Mode=TwoWay}"&gt; &lt;ComboBox.Resources&gt; &lt;DataTemplate DataType=" ??????? fract"&gt; &lt;TextBlock Text="{Binding ., Converter=fractConverter}"/&gt; &lt;/DataTemplate&gt; &lt;/ComboBox.Resources&gt; &lt;/ComboBox&gt; </code></pre> <p><strong>FULL SOLUTION:</strong></p> <p>Using the System namespace as <em>sys:</em> works!<br> <em>Gains</em> is a List&lt;Double&gt;<br> <em>Gain</em> is a Double</p> <pre><code>&lt;Window ... xmlns:sys="clr-namespace:System;assembly=mscorlib" ...&gt; </code></pre> <p>The Combobox works like this:</p> <pre><code>&lt;ComboBox ItemsSource="{Binding Gains}" SelectedItem="{Binding Gain, Mode=TwoWay}"&gt; &lt;ComboBox.Resources&gt; &lt;DataTemplate DataType="{x:Type sys:Double}"&gt; &lt;TextBlock Text="{Binding ., Converter={StaticResource realConverter}}"/&gt; &lt;/DataTemplate&gt; &lt;/ComboBox.Resources&gt; &lt;/ComboBox&gt; </code></pre>
