I need to connect a ComboBox to a DataTable from a database. I need to display a certain column and have another column returned when the item is selected. Can someone provide sample code to do so ?
DataTable doesn’t work in view model, you have to convert it to normal dotnet objects. Then you can simply display different property than what you use as “key”: <dot:ComboBox DataSource="{value: MyList}" ItemValueBinding="{value: Id}" ItemTextBinding="{value: DisplayedProperty}" />

We do not plan to add DataTable support, it would be rather problematic and the benefits are questionable at best.
