Binding to specific part of a complex list

I have a complex list as a resource in the following form:-

sectionList
       Sections
               Section 0
               Section 1
               .
               .
               Section 12

Each of those have few properties like 'Name', ie. Section 0 have a property 'Name' and so on.

In my Xaml i have a ComboBox which i want to bind it's ItemsSource to get the Name property of each Section in this ComboBox. When i use ItemsSource="{Binding Path=Section}" i get only a list of the Types not the actual Name property. With that i mean the list looks like below:-

AppName.ClassName+Section  (This is the Type)
AppName.ClassName+Section
.
.
.
AppName.ClassName+Section

So my question is, how to get the property Name instead of the Type in this ComboBox?

Hope this an enough discription otherwise i will be more than glad to explain more.

Use 'DisplayMemberName' on the combobox to pass in the name of the field you wish to display.

See WPF Combobox DisplayMemberPath for a usage example (use the solution, not the question as it is incorrect!)
