Can't change ComboBox selected item

Question

I've been all day trying to make this work properly, but it seems I'm unable.

The first thing I do is populate a combobox with the list of voices installed on system. Once that the combobox is properly populated with all the voices, I can't select any value from the combobox.

Where is the problem?

public class ComboData
{
public int _Id { get; set; }
public string _Name { get; set; }
}

public void accSettings()
{
SpeechSynthesizer speaker = new SpeechSynthesizer();

List<ComboData> ListData = new List<ComboData>();

int a = 1;
foreach (InstalledVoice voice in speaker.GetInstalledVoices())
{
    VoiceInfo info = voice.VoiceInfo;
    ListData.Add(new ComboData { _Id = a, _Name = info.Name });
    a++;
}

VoiceList.ItemsSource = ListData;
VoiceList.DisplayMemberPath = "_Name";
VoiceList.SelectedValuePath = "_Id";

VoiceList.SelectedValue = "1";
}

And this is the XAML

<ComboBox x:Name="VoiceList" Margin="10,0,0,0" Width="200" HorizontalAlignment="Left"/>

Answer 1

Is accSettings() being called more than once? Put a breakpoint there and see. If you click an item, and then accSettings() gets called again, the combobox will be reset to its initial values and your selection will be lost.
