Combo Box won't display data from database correctly
combo-issue.docx
See attached screen dump
Although I have attached this combo to a table ok and I can select any account in the drop down the combo itself refuses to display the selected item?
However I resize it makes no difference.
Any Ideas?
This is XAML for combo box
<ComboBox AllowDrop="False" DataContext="{Binding}" Height="23" IsEnabled="True" IsSynchronizedWithCurrentI
This is data template
<Window x:Class="VirginOneAccount.
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
Title="Account Information" Height="410" Width="874" Loaded="Window_Loaded" Closed="Window_Closed" Name="AccountsForm" WindowStartupLocation="Cen
<Window.Resources>
<DataTemplate x:Key="AccountTemplate">
<StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal">
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Path=AccountName}"/>
</StackPanel>
</DataTemplate>
As you can imgaine I am fairly new to c#

As far as I can see the two combos on this form are declared similarly
When hover over the errant one the strange "edit box" appears (see attachment)
I have made the combo larger so you can see what I mean
What is the control withing the combo box?

Yes,
The form is rendered ok
Th problem is when I select in the the main combo
First of all the control adds a weird control that looks like edit box
The it won't actually display the selected data.

This solution helped with the issue
But still not seeing data
Am going to try from scratch to build a new application and see what happens with that.

Yes, the data are connected to the combo box OK and I can select an item. But look at the top image. This is with an item selected. The item does not show in the combo but instead there is a strange white rectangle at the bottom of the client area (all along the bottom)?
