When I'm using a GridViewComboBoxColumn after a user selects a value it shows the selected value (an integer ID field) instead of the displaymemberpath.  Here's my XAML for that column:

<telerik:GridViewComboBoxColumn Header="Schedule Type" DataMemberBinding="{Binding BookingTypeID}" SelectedValueMemberPath="BookingTypeID" DisplayMemberPath="BTName" ItemsSource="{Binding RelativeSource={RelativeSource FindAncestor, AncestorType={x:Type u:NewSchedules}, AncestorLevel=1},Path=BookingTypes}" /> 

Any ideas on how to get the column to display the text of my combobox instead of the selected value?

Hello Dean,

Your XAML seems OK , however to find the reason for the problem ,  I will need a bit more info .

Can you please paste me the implementation of the underlying business objects  - the ones used to populate the grid and the ones used in the ComboBoxColumn items source.
This will help me  prepare a working sample for you with your objects

Sincerely yours,

It's actually not an issue anymore.  We decided to just create our own custom column type that fixes the problem and behaves how we want it to.

For the record: I was just using a DataView as the underlying object my binding was referencing.  It seems like things don't work as well with DataViews as they do with entity classes (based solely on my anecdotal evidence and observations).
