DropDownList HTML XAML The control is coming soon in XAML

Allow Single Selection from a List

When you need to limit the user’s selection to a single item from a predefined list you can use the DropDownList control. When the user has to choose the size of a single item and add it to the shopping cart, he might be choosing from a DropDownList.

Populate with Remote Online Data

DropDownList can be populated either by a local array or remote data like movies database or list of stocks coming from an online service.

Add, Remove, Disable Items at Runtime

With the extended public API you can add, remove, enable or disable items at runtime. For example you can disable or remove certain countries from the drop-down list depending on your shipping policy if the user selects an item that cannot be shipped to those countries.

Customize the Items Look and Feel

You can customize how the items in the DropDownList look like. For example, you can customize the items to display image right in front of the items’ text as well as change the font and size of the text.
