    <p>I'm not sure if this is possible or not. I have created a ComboBox like this...</p> <pre><code>&lt;ComboBox Name="testType" Margin="0,5,0,0" IsTextSearchEnabled="True" DisplayMemberPath="Description" SelectedValue="{Binding MyClass.Id, Mode=TwoWay}" SelectedValuePath="Id"/&gt; </code></pre> <p>with code behind that loads up the available options...</p> <pre><code> DataTable testCatList = TestTypeBase.GetAll(); testType.ItemsSource = testCatList.DefaultView; </code></pre> <p>so that it properly displays all the items in MyClass. When the user makes a selection, the Id field in MyClass gets updated as intended. Great.</p> <p>Here's my problem: My testCatList contains both the Id and the Description for each of the rows, and I'd like both of those fields to be bound to the current MyClass instance. So here's what I tried:</p> <pre><code>&lt;ComboBox Name="testType" Margin="0,5,0,0" IsTextSearchEnabled="True" DisplayMemberPath="Description"&gt; &lt;ComboBox.SelectedValue&gt; &lt;MultiBinding Converter="{???}"&gt; &lt;Binding Path="MyClass.Id" Mode="TwoWay"/&gt; &lt;Binding Path="MyClass.Description" Mode="TwoWay"/&gt; &lt;/MultiBinding&gt; &lt;/ComboBox.SelectedValue&gt; &lt;/ComboBox&gt; </code></pre> <p>Here, I'd like to have MyClass.Id set to the selected Id and the MyClass.Description set to the selected Description. As you can see, I have removed the SelectedValuePath because I don't just want the Id any more. But I don't know what to use for the Converter (see the question marks above).</p> <p>Any ideas, oh experts of StackOverflow? Thanks.</p>

    1. COI would start with a one way converter just to get it going. Did you create a converter in the code behind? If so please post what you have.

    2. CONo,I have not created a converter for this because the data is already in the correct format: DataTable.Id > MyClass.Id and DataTable.Description > MyClass.Description. I thought there would be a way to bind the two fields without using code.

    3. COThere is no way to do combine or split without a converter that I know of. Does the Converter syntax not give you a indication it is expecting a converter? If it was a class you might be able to create a Property that is the combination so it looks like a single value.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
