c# - Add an object to WPF Combo box Items collection, but only show specific property to the client -

if have class like:

public class product {      public int productid { get; set; }       public string productname { get; set; } }

and have collection of products (stored in products variable)

 foreach (var product in products)  {      productcombobox.items.add(product.productname);  }

this adds product names combo box, that. there way this:

 foreach (var product in products)      {          productcombobox.items.add(product);      }

but when combo box opened, show product names (but store entire product object in combo box? thanks.

you can use displaymemberpath property this.

<combobox displaymemberpath="productname"/>
