Hello

I am filling a the items of the RadComboBox in the code behind.

    
                        foreach (LJSDataSet.LJ_DBRow row in dbNew.LJ_DB.Rows)  
        
                        {  
        
                            StackPanel pan = new StackPanel();  
        
                            TextBlock tb1 = new TextBlock();  
        
                            TextBlock tb2 = new TextBlock();  
        
                            tb1.Width = 130;  
        
                            tb1.Text = row.DBNAME;  
        
                            tb2.Width = 90;  
        
                            tb2.Text = row.DBSERV;  
        
                            pan.Orientation = Orientation.Horizontal;  
        
                            pan.Children.Add(tb1);  
        
                            pan.Children.Add(tb2);  
        
                            this.comboDB.Items.Add(pan);  
        
                        }

When I compile the project, the combobox items are displayed as expected. But the SeletedItem always shows the type name
System.Windows.Contols.StackPanel.

How can I avoid this?

Thank you in advance.

Hi,

I would strongly recommend providing the dbNew.LJ_DB.Rows collection as ItemsSource of RadComboBox and using the ItemTemplate property to specify the look of the combo items. You could find a similar example here:
