Answer 1

If you really want to make a combobox for your WP8 application, you must install the Windows Phone Toolkit .

Installation instructions are on their website. You can their get it from NuGet or download the source .

Once installed, you will have to add the namespace in your xaml:

xmlns:toolkit="clr-namespace:Microsoft.Phone.Controls;assembly=Microsoft.Phone.Controls.Toolkit"

Then you can create a ListPicker like so:

<toolkit:ListPicker ItemSource="{Binding YourBindingForList}" />

I hope it will help you.
