So I have an ObservableCollection of items called "Class1" and Class1 has a property named "ID".
I use a datagrid from the WPFToolkit and bind to this collection. Within the datagrid is a combobox column and I bind it's ItemsSource to the ID property of the class.
At this point, all is good and everything populates as it should. What I want to do is modify the ObservableCollection to reflect the value selected in the ComboBox.
I have a ValueConverter bound to the SelectedItemBinding on the ComboBox as follows:
SelectedItemBinding="{Binding Path=ID, Converter={StaticResource IDConverter}}
What is the best (i.e: WPF approved method) of modifying the collection? When the IDConverter ConvertBack() method is called, I get the appropriate Class1 instance, but I can't access the Observable collection from within the ValueConverter and I also don't have access to the SelectedIndex value from the Datagrid.
I could create a class as a static resource with a pointer to my collection and pass that as a ConverterParameter, but that seems sort of hokey and I'm assuming there must be some slicker way of doing this with databinding.
