Possible to Bind a ConverterParameter in RadComboBox?

[Kelly]

Hello,

I'm trying to bind the SelectedItem of the RadComboBox. I need to pass the ItemsSource of the combobox to the Converter used for Selected Item. Everyt time I try to bind anything to the ConverterParameter, I get the following when parsing the xaml in InitializeComponent:

{System.Windows.ApplicationUnhandledExceptionEventArgs}
    base {System.EventArgs}: {System.Windows.ApplicationUnhandledExceptionEventArgs}
    ExceptionObject: {System.Reflection.TargetInvocationException: Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation. ---> System.Windows.Markup.XamlParseException: Provide value on 'System.Windows.Data.Binding' threw an exception. [Line: 101 Position: 98] ---> System.InvalidOperationException: Operation is not valid due to the current state of the object.

   at System.Windows.Navigation.PageResourceContentLoader.<>c__DisplayClass4.<BeginLoad>b__0(Object args)}
    Handled: false

My latest attempt at binding is:

<telerik:RadComboBox ItemsSource="{Binding Periods}"
          DisplayMemberPath="Header"
          SelectedItem="{Binding CurrentView.Period, Mode=TwoWay,
                    Converter={StaticResource PeriodConverter}, ConverterParameter={Binding Periods}}">

No errors if I leave out the ConverterParameter, but then my Converter won't function correctly.  The same binding works correctly for the ItemsSource.

Thank you,

KO

Never mind, after much looking I found out this cannot be done in Silverlight. I'll find a hack of some kind. Thanks.
