Answer 1

Nahum you'll have to use ItemsSource="{Binding PropsList}" , assuming PropsList is a Dependancy property in your code behind or, even better, a property in your data context that implements INotifyPropertyChanged . In your case you'd have to set the DataContext property of your View to be the ViewModel

Answer 2

try this:

 <ComboBox Name="cbPropName" ItemsSource="{Binding Path=PropsList}" />
