I have a Silverlight Page where I have the a button control and a Datagrid. The Click event on the Silverlight Page navigates to a Silverlight Child Window. The DataGrid on the Silverlight Page displays the Orders of all Customers. The Silverlight Child Window has a dataform and textfields and a combo box of customers. There is no issue with saving the data on the ChildWindow.

The issue starts when I click OK on the ChildWindow. The datagrid on the Silverlight page is populated with the Orders info. One of the columns in the DataGrid is the CustomerID column. To make the user better understand whose order it is I decided to add a combo box to the
datagridtemplate column. The combobox binds perfectly to the CustomerDataSource. But for each order i want it to display the corresponding Customer Name. But this does not happen. How can I achieve this?

The Selection completely depends on the SelectedValuePath. Check if whether is are setting CustomerID (which should be available in CustomerDataSource) as SelectedValuePath.

Let me put it simple,

If you haven't specified the SelectedValuePath, you need to pass Customer as SelectedValue

If you have specified SelectedValuePath as CustomerID, you need to pass CustomerID as SelectedValue.

Something like below,

XML
<ComboBox SelectedValuePath="CustomerID" SelectedValue="{Binding Path=CustomerID}" ItemsSource="{Binding Source={StaticResource CustomerDataSource}}" />

Hi Venkatesh,

This does not work for here.
The combobox gets populated with a list of customers but i cannot set the CustomerName for that order on top of the ComboBox.
