Problem

The goal is to have a DataGrid of comboboxes, 10 rows, 3 columns.

Here's the XAML to create said grid:

Here's the code behind for the binding:

private void SetGrid()
{
    var materialList = new List();

    var newMaterial = new MudMaterial();

    for (var i = 0; i 

The

MudMaterial

 Class:

class MudMaterial
{
public ObservableCollection Product { get; set; }
public ObservableCollection Units { get; set; }
public ObservableCollection Amount { get; set; }

public MudMaterial()
{
Product = new ObservableCollection() { " ",
"Gel",
"Barrite",
"Detergent",
"Soap",
"X Gel",
"Bentonite",};

Units = new ObservableCollection() {" ",
"20 lb bag",
"40 lb bag",
"50 lb bag",
"80 lb bag",
"1 gal",
"2 gal",
"3 gal",};

Amount = new ObservableCollection() {" ",
"1",
"2",
"3",
"4",

Solution

If your items in the ComboBox are static, you don't need binding at all.
