I have created a WPF application , where I need to bind the XML data to the ComboBox. Below code I have tried. But values are not not showing on the ComboBox. Anybody please helpme to solve this.

What I have tried:

This the Languages.xml File

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<Languages>
  <language name="English"/>
  <language name="Hindi"/>
  <language name="Odia"/>
  <language name="Telugu"/>
  <language name="Kannada"/>
</Languages>

And this is App.xaml

<Application x:Class="xmlBinding.App"
             xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
             xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
             xmlns:local="clr-namespace:xmlBinding"
             StartupUri="MainWindow.xaml">
    <Application.Resources>
        <XmlDataProvider x:Key="XmlData" Source="Languages.xml"/>
    </Application.Resources>
</Application>

And this MainWindow.xaml
<grid>
<combobox x:name="cmbName" height="30" width="150" itemssource="{Binding Source={StaticResource XmlData},XPath=Languages/.}"
="" displaymemberpath="@name">

Have you checked in the Debug output window? Normally when there's an issue with XAML either loading or rendering a resource then it will print out a message accordingly.

Hi,
Thank you for the solution. The issue got resolved.

As a last resort, you can always create the "list" in code (hard-coded or deserialized xml). Doesn't look like that particular list will change much either.

Did you have a look at the Debug Output Windows as suggested by Chris?

If you see a message like this

XmlDataProvider cannot load asynchronous document from Source because of load or parse error in XML stream. Uri:'Languages.xml' IOException:'System.IO.IOException: Cannot locate resource 'languages.xml'.

then the XML file cannot be found.

In this case you can try to assign a path like this:

<XmlDataProvider x:Key="XmlData" Source="c:\\Languages.xml" XPath="Languages"/>

Do not forget to copy the XML file to the specified path.
