GridViewComboBoxColumn - ItemsSourceBinding viewmodel sample code?

[Hazzard]

hello team,
 Is it possible with GridViewComboBoxColumn to bind to GridViewComboBoxColumn with 2 different collections via ItemSource binding?  Here is the question I posted in the Silverlight forum. http://forums.silverlight.net/p/241794/603526.aspx/1?p=True&t=634561231912631344
Visual below and current code sample of that at bottom.
Thank you very much.

I think i've discovered it's not possible bind to the combobox at runtime with different possible values for the combobox. Especially given the workarounds required for the Empty Cells in Combobox issue,

Hi Hazzard,

I am a bit confused about what you are trying to achieve after reading this thread and the other one on the SL forums.

If I understand it right , you need combo boxes on different row to be populated with different items.

There is such scenario illustrated in this help article. Please have a look at the section dedicated on the ItemsSourceBinding property. The example with the F1 teams shows a different list of  F1 pilots in each row .

Is that what you were looking for ?

two custom controls solved the problem and solved this bug in GridViewComboBoxColumn which is documented for that control when the comboboxes are all empty, (the datacontext tug of war problem between the row and the column)
