WPF ComboBox databinding help?

Question

I have a wpf combobox which I want to display a selection of strings

string[] list1= new string[]{"first","second"."third",fourth"} and so on

Xaml:

 ComboBox   Name="cmbItems"
 ItemsSource="{Binding Path=list1}"
 SelectedValue="{Binding Path=Display}"

where Display is the property in my ViewModel

    public string Display
    {

        get
        {
            return _Person.Display;
        }
        set
        {
            _Person.Display = value;

            NotifyPropertyChanged(() => Display);
        }
    }

when i run my code..the combobox displays nothing....

can somebody tell me what i am doing wrong

Thanks

You have to set the string array to public property.

private string[] list1 = new string[] { "first", "second", "third", "fourth" };

public string[] List1 { get { return list1; } set { list1 = value; } }

Now bind to List1 (ItemsSource="{Binding Path=List1}")
