Why does my WPF combobox displays Model name that is binded when selected?
I have a ComboBox in WPF which I Binded to an observable collection. It was all good. Recently I had to change the background of the combo box and changed the default template of it as per this article
Now the problem is the combo box displays the values that I add to the Observable collection, but when I select an item, it displays the model name. Attached are the pictures
XAML Code
<ComboBox Width="120" x:Name="cmbMobileCol" ItemsSource="{Binding}" DisplayMemberPath="ColumnName" SelectedValuePath="ColumnLetter" Template="{DynamicResource ComboBoxControlTemplate1}"/>
Code Behind
public ObservableCollection<MobileCol> MobileColList = new ObservableCollection<MobileCol>();
public MainWindow()
{
InitializeComponent();
CmbMobileCol.DataContext = this.GetMobileColumns();
}
private void MainWin_Loaded(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
AddMobileColumns("A", 1);
AddMobileColumns("B", 2);
AddMobileColumns("C", 3);
}
Combobox Template XAML

Set the ContentTemplateSelector property of the ContentPresenter below the ToggleButton and it should work as expected:
<ContentPresenter x:Name="contentPresenter"
ContentTemplate="{TemplateBinding SelectionBoxItemTemplate}"
Content="{TemplateBinding SelectionBoxItem}"
ContentStringFormat="{TemplateBinding SelectionBoxItemStringFormat}"
ContentTemplateSelector="{TemplateBinding ItemsControl.ItemTemplateSelector}"
HorizontalAlignment="{TemplateBinding HorizontalContentAlignment}"
IsHitTestVisible="False" Margin="{TemplateBinding Padding}"
SnapsToDevicePixels="{TemplateBinding SnapsToDevicePixels}"
VerticalAlignment="{TemplateBinding VerticalContentAlignment}"/>
