Unable to bind/populate combobox to xml file

Apr 13 2018 12:35 PM

Here is my xml file called AvailableTestsXMLFile2.xml.  I have added this file to my project.

 

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

    <AvailableTests>

         <Test name="high voltage" testNumber="1" />

         <Test name="low voltage" testNumber="2" />

         <Test name="new test" testNumber="3" />

         <Test name="old test" testNumber="4" />

    </AvailableTests>

   

        

        

        

        

   

Here is my xaml (I am not getting anything in my combobox called testNameBox)...

<Window x:Class="WpfTester.MainWindow"

<TextBox Text="Test 3 Successful!" />

</StackPanel>

</Border>

</StackPanel>

</Window>

 

 Any ideas on what I need to do to load the combobox correctly?  Thanks, Scott
