Data Binding with ComboBox in Silverlight using VB.NET

Here, we will learn Data Binding with ComboBox in simple way in Silverlight.

We take a Silverlight application and write the following XAML code in editor

<Grid x:Name="LayoutRoot" Background="White">
    <ComboBox Height="42" HorizontalAlignment="Left" ItemsSource="{Binding }" Margin="38,35,0,0" Name="ComboBox1" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="134" Background="#FF365772" Foreground="#FF3D3F41" />
</Grid>
 

We write the following code on MainPage.xaml.vb

Partial Public Class MainPage
    Inherits UserControl
        Public Sub New()
        InitializeComponent()
        Dim ss As String() = {"Sunday", "Monday", "Tuesday", "Wednesday", "Thursday", "Friday","Saturday"}
        Me.DataContext = ss
    End Sub
End Class
 

Then, we run our application. When we Click on ComboBox, all the items are displayed in it and we can simply select one of them. Like below figure
