WPF combobox binding not working.. It is not showing the exact value

I will show you the exact code and output of the code...

This is my linq .dbml file

enter image description here

This i the combobox cbx_contact code :

 <ComboBox Height="22.669" Margin="107.769,43.75,424.266,0" Name="cbx_contact" VerticalAlignment="Top" IsTabStop="True" SelectedValuePath="ContactID" IsSynchronizedWithCurrentItem="True" IsEditable="True" IsTextSearchEnabled="True">
        <ComboBox.ItemTemplate>
            <DataTemplate>
                <Grid>
                    <TextBlock Text="{Binding Path=ContactName}"/>
                    </Grid>
            </DataTemplate>
        </ComboBox.ItemTemplate>
    </ComboBox>

This is the .cs file :

public Contacts()
    {
        InitializeComponent();
        DataClasses1DataContext db = new DataClasses1DataContext();
        cbx_contact.ItemsSource = db.Contacts;
        cbx_contact.SelectedIndex = 0;     
    }

This is the output view of the combobox :

enter image description here

enter image description here

Here in the drop down list of combobox i get all the values but when i select any value the text does not change it gives Contact_Manager.Contact....

I dont know what i am missing here... I have binded combobox like this before also it was working at that time but here it is creating probs... thanks in advance for the help...

Applying the concepts from this answer:

<ComboBox Height="22.669" Margin="107.769,43.75,424.266,0" Name="cbx_contact" VerticalAlignment="Top" IsTabStop="True" SelectedValuePath="ContactID" IsSynchronizedWithCurrentItem="True" IsEditable="True" IsTextSearchEnabled="True" 
        TextSearch.TextPath=ContactName
         >
        <ComboBox.ItemTemplate>
            <DataTemplate>
                <Grid>
                    <TextBlock Text="{Binding Path=ContactName}"/>
                    </Grid>
            </DataTemplate>
        </ComboBox.ItemTemplate>
    </ComboBox>
