Hi,

   I have a autocompletebox and bind it with a list of item(cities). But its throwing error message while binding source.
Please help.

Sample Code:

xaml:
                                 VerticalAlignment="Center" MinimumPrefixLength="1" MaxDropDownHeight="80" >

.cs

List _Cities;

Main Page()
{
        Initialize Component();
         txtSearchName.ItemsSource = PopulateCities();

}

private System.Collections.IEnumerable PopulateCities()
        {
            _Cities.Add("Boston");
            _Cities.Add("Banglore");
            _Cities.Add("Brimingham");
            _Cities.Add("Chennai");
            _Cities.Add("Chengalpattu");
            _Cities.Add("City");
            return _Cities;
        }

Thanks,
Vijay
