  I would like to place a combobox in a flexgrid that’s bound to an entity. I would like to do it in the viewmodel using the MVVM pattern, but I can’t find a dependency property that I can bind to. At present the only way I can do this is in the code behind.
  
  My XAML

  <c1:C1FlexGrid.Columns>
                  <c1:Column Binding="{Binding shortname}" Header ="מחלקה" Width="100"/>
                  <c1:Column Binding="{Binding fullname}" Width="150"/>
                  <c1:Column Binding="{Binding Eshortname}" Width="100" Header="English"/>
                  <c1:Column Binding="{Binding Instituteid}" Width="50" Header="מכון" />
              </c1:C1FlexGrid.Columns>
  
  

  my code behind:

  this.deptfg.Columns["Instituteid"].ValueConverter =  new ColumnValueConverter(institutes, "id", "shortname");
  

  Is there another to do this using the MVVM pattern? Should I use another control?

  Hello Haim,

  You can instead set Column’s CellTemplate and inside use Combobox, as follows:```
  
  <c1:Column Binding=“{Binding InstituteId}” Width=“50” Header=“Inst.ID”>
  
  c1:Column.CellTemplate
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  </c1:Column.CellTemplate>
  
  </c1:Column>
