I have a ComboBoxItemsProvider that I am using for my editor style and I need to set its ItemsSource property to a List<Customer> which is generated in code behind when the page loads. There is no Name property so I can't expose it through XAML to my code behind and if I use a DynamicResource the combox is empty and the control doesn't support the ObjectDataProvider.
So the question is, how can I fill a combobox in the grid with a generic list that is generated when a code behind method is called?
Thanks!!
You can refer to online documentation for more details about the ItemsSource and ItemsProvider properties of XamComboEditor:

Let me know if you have any questions on that.

That did work and thank you for the help!!
I was following the example in the feature browser for using a combo box as the field editor and it was using a ComboBoxItemsProvider rather than a ComboBox but I still couldn't get it to work by using a DynamicResource.
Can you tell me what would be the benefit of using the ComboBoxItemsProvider over the regular ComboBox?
Hello,
You can set the ItemsSource as DynamicResource like that :
void Window1_Loaded(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
xamDataGrid2.Resources.Add("pr", list);
}
<igDP:UnboundField Label="Last Name" >
<igDP:Field.Settings>
<igDP:FieldSettings >
<igDP:FieldSettings.EditorStyle>
<Style TargetType="{x:Type igEditors:XamComboEditor}">
<Setter Property="ItemsSource" Value="{DynamicResource pr}" />
<Setter Property="DisplayMemberPath" Value="LastName" />
</Style>
</igDP:FieldSettings.EditorStyle>
</igDP:FieldSettings>
</igDP:Field.Settings>
</igDP:UnboundField>
Hope this helps
