About

My goal is to make your life easier, specifically when it comes to learning software development. I remember what it was like to not know even what questions to ask. In every video I do, I try to answer those questions. You will notice that I don't usually do quick videos. That's because I would rather help you understand rather than just padding my watch percentages. If you want more in-depth training, feel free to head over to my website (https://www.iamtimcorey.com) where I have courses dedicated to C#, SQL, and more.

Video Description

Designing WPF controls, especially with MVVM, can be tricky so I decided to create a mini-series on the various controls we have access to in WPF and how you can wire them up properly. Even if a video covers a control you are familiar with, you will probably see an advanced use case or two that will be of benefit. In this first video, we are going to cover the combo box including how to get the data about the selected item and how to cascade dropdowns.
