Just starting with wpf. Trying to figure out what I did wrong. 

I have the following xaml ... 

        <ig:XamComboEditor

            Name ="cbeElementList"

            SelectionChanged="cbeElementList_OnSelectionChanged"

            IsEditable="False"

            Height="30" Width="250"   

            MaxDropDownHeight="150"

            Margin="52,48,215,241"/> 

Its ItemsSource comes from a List of enum GetNames entries. 

        public static List<string> GetElmentFieldList(string elementType = "ElementType")

        {

            var eType = "Sunlight.Json.e" + elementType;

            var myType = Type.GetType(eType);

            return Enum.GetNames(myType).ToList();

        } 

The combo is loaded as follows…

private void LoadDataEntitiesList()

        {

            var dataEntities = SunlightFields.GetElmentFieldList("ElementType");

            cbeElementList.ItemsSource = dataEntities;

            cbeElementList.SelectedIndex = 0;

        } 

When the editor displays, instead of the string values (alpha, beta, gamma) being listed, their lengths are listed (5,4,5). 

When I retrieve the selected item, the return string is the actual string value (alpha) …

var name = cbeElementList.SelectedItem.ToString(); 

The xaml namespaces are … 

        xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"

        xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"

        xmlns:ig="http://schemas.infragistics.com/xaml"

        x:Class="SmartC.Wpf.MainWindow"

        Title="MainWindow" Height="350" Width="525"> 

Trying to figure out what I have done wrong.
