DataForm ComboBox

11-24-2009 5:52 PM |

I have a combobox bound to a DomainDataSource. If the ComboBox is displayed by itself, it works fine and is populated with the correct values.

If I copy the ComboBox and paste it in a DataField, it no longer populates. I tried adding the SelectedItem property, but it did not seem to help.

Here is my DomainDataSource:

        <ria:DomainDataSource x:Name="GenderDataSource" 
                              AutoLoad="True"
                              QueryName="GetGendersQuery">
            <ria:DomainDataSource.DomainContext>
                <services:IACodesContext/>
            </ria:DomainDataSource.DomainContext>
        </ria:DomainDataSource>
        <!--<ComboBox x:Name="GenderComboBox" 
                    ItemsSource="{Binding Data, ElementName=GenderDataSource}"
                    DisplayMemberPath="CodeText"/>-->

 The combobox code commented out above works fine (when it is not commented out, of course<G>).

Here is my DataForm:

            <dataFormToolkit:DataForm x:Name="PersonInfoDataForm"
                    Grid.Row="3" Grid.ColumnSpan="3"
                    AutoGenerateFields="False"
                    Header="Person Profile"
                    CurrentItem="{Binding SelectedItem, ElementName=PersonGrid}">
                <dataFormToolkit:DataForm.EditTemplate>
                    <DataTemplate>
                        <StackPanel dataFormToolkit:DataField.IsFieldGroup="True">
                            <dataFormToolkit:DataField 
                                LabelStyle="{StaticResource LabelStyle}">
                                <TextBox Text="{Binding LastName, Mode=TwoWay}"/>
                            </dataFormToolkit:DataField>
                            <dataFormToolkit:DataField 
                                LabelStyle="{StaticResource LabelStyle}">
                                <TextBox Text="{Binding FirstName, Mode=TwoWay}"/>
                            </dataFormToolkit:DataField>
                            <dataFormToolkit:DataField 
                                LabelStyle="{StaticResource LabelStyle}">
                                <TextBox Text="{Binding MiddleName, Mode=TwoWay}"/>
                            </dataFormToolkit:DataField>
                            <dataFormToolkit:DataField 
                                    LabelStyle="{StaticResource LabelStyle}">
                                <controls:DatePicker 
                                    SelectedDate="{Binding DateOfBirth, Mode=TwoWay, Converter={StaticResource DateOnlyConverter}}"/>
                            </dataFormToolkit:DataField>
                            <dataFormToolkit:DataField 
                                LabelStyle="{StaticResource LabelStyle}">
                            <ComboBox x:Name="GenderComboBox" 
                                ItemsSource="{Binding Data, ElementName=GenderDataSource}"
                                DisplayMemberPath="CodeText"
                                SelectedItem="{Binding Gender, Mode=TwoWay}">
                            </ComboBox>
                        </dataFormToolkit:DataField>
                    </StackPanel>    
                    </DataTemplate>
                </dataFormToolkit:DataForm.EditTemplate>
        </dataFormToolkit:DataForm>

 In this code, the Combobox is not populated. Any idea what else I need to do in this case?

THANKS!
