13 Aug 2013 by Dave Kreskowiak
You have to add the item to the datasource you bound the Combo to. Once you bind data to the Combo, you cannot use the Combo's own Items collection.

combobox.SelectedValuePath= "Id"; combobox.DisplayMemberPath= "Name"; combobox.ItemsSource= type;combobox.Text="Please choose an item";
