I have combobox inside a ItemsControl. How to bind the selected value of the combobox to the ItemsControl items with object not with int value. When i change the combobox everything is working well but after changing the PersonList with the new gender objects when the button clicked, combobox is not selected with the correct gender. I know when the new genders are added, binding is not working. But in my real situation the data are taken from database so the gender list is refreshed with the new one. How to create those kind of binding with object ?
Gender Class
public class Gender : INotifyPropertyChanged
{
public event PropertyChangedEventHandler PropertyChanged;
private int id { get; set; }
public int Id { get { return id; } set { id = value; OnPropertyChanged(nameof(Id)); } }
private string name { get; set; }
public string Name { get { return name; } set { name = value; OnPropertyChanged(nameof(Name)); } }
protected virtual void OnPropertyChanged(string propertyName = null)
{
PropertyChanged?.Invoke(this, new PropertyChangedEventArgs(propertyName));
}
}
Person Class
public class Person : INotifyPropertyChanged
{
public event PropertyChangedEventHandler PropertyChanged;
private string name { get; set; }
public string Name { get { return name; } set { name = value; OnPropertyChanged(nameof(Name)); } }
private string surname { get; set; }
public string Surname { get { return surname; } set { surname = value; OnPropertyChanged(nameof(Surname)); } }
private Gender personGender { get; set; }
public Gender PersonGender { get { return personGender; } set { personGender = value; OnPropertyChanged(nameof(PersonGender)); } }
xml protected virtual void OnPropertyChanged(string propertyName = null) { PropertyChanged?.Invoke(this, new PropertyChangedEventArgs(propertyName)); }
