I have a DataFormComboBoxField which is showing the List<T> type as the display members.  It is in a edit template for a Silverlight DataForm

Here is the markup for the field:

<telerik:DataFormComboBoxField Name="SuppliesDDL" Grid.Column="0" Grid.Row="3"
                               ItemsSource="{Binding SuppliesLookup}" DisplayMemberPath="{Binding SupplyName}"
                               DataMemberBinding="{Binding SupplyID, Mode=TwoWay}" Margin="5,0,0,0" />

The bind is partially successful in that I am ending up with the right numbers of items in the drop down boxes for a few of these.  

The object backing the form is a custom object, and it binds correctly to the form and the DataFormDataField items within this template for the form.

Not sure that I was clear:

The combo box is showing the following string for all items in the list:
"AssetLibrary.BO.Supply", which is the namespace and class name of the type (T) the List<T> consists of.

Hi Matt Leeds,

The DisplayMemberPath property should be defined as follows:

DisplayMemberPath="SupplyName"

You may run through this article for further reference if needed.
