Occurrence.Appointment doesn't work

[Lucas]

Hello,

I'm using this article to make a custom appointment and custom appointment dialog, but it doesn't work. It says that you're supposed to be able to access custom appointment properties, but I try to display a custom appointment property in a combobox and it doesn't work. 

This is my code, my custom appointment has a property named "FactionDef" of type "List_ShiftDTO", I bind it to selectedItem but it can't find it even if it's clearly there. The combobox shows the itemsource and all the "List_ShiftDTO" objects inside the ObservableCollection "TypeFactions".

<telerik:RadComboBox Grid.Row="2" Grid.Column="1"
SelectedItem="{Binding Occurrence.Appointment.FactionDef, Mode=TwoWay}" Margin="3"
ItemsSource="{Binding RelativeSource={RelativeSource AncestorType=telerik:SchedulerWindow}, Path=ScheduleView.DataContext.TypeFactions}" DisplayMemberPath="Display"/>

Hello Lucas,

Thank you for the provided code snippet.

When binding the RadComboBox to a reference type, which I assume the List_ShiftDTO is, you need to ensure that the instance of the value bound to the SelectedItem property is the same as one of the items from the provided ItemsSource. I've set up a small sample project to demonstrate this in action.

Alternatively, you can use the SelectedValue and SelectedValuePath properties, if you have a unique identifier for each item.

Please let me know if any of these two approaches solves your issue.
