binding a datatable to a WPF combo is not working.

[moondaddy]

Using c# 3.5, I'm trying to bind a data table to a combo box, but I cant see
any data in the list. I'm sure the data table has data. Here's my code:

DataSet ds = GetData();
DataTable tb = ds.Tables["tb"];
myCombo.DataCon text = tb;
myCombo.Display MemberPath = tb.Columns["Name"].ToString();
myCombo.Selecte dValuePath = tb.Columns["ID"].ToString();

any idea what I'm doing wrong?

RE: binding a datatable to a WPF combo is not working.

You will need to use the ItemsSource property and we also need to
explicitly convert the DataTable into a list:

DataTable dt = new DataTable();
dt.Columns.Add( "Code");
dt.Columns.Add( "Name");
dt.Rows.Add("c1 ", "n1");
dt.Rows.Add("c2 ", "n2");
myCombo.ItemsSo urce = ((IListSource)d t).GetList();
myCombo.Display MemberPath = "Code";
myCombo.Selecte dValuePath = "Name";
