I know how to do it in code, but can this be done in XAML ?

Window1.xaml:

<Window x:Class="WpfApplication1.Window1"
    xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
    xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
    Title="Window1" Height="300" Width="300">
    <Grid>
        <ComboBox Name="ComboBox1" HorizontalAlignment="Left" VerticalAlignment="Top">
            <ComboBoxItem>ComboBoxItem1</ComboBoxItem>
            <ComboBoxItem>ComboBoxItem2</ComboBoxItem>
        </ComboBox>
    </Grid>
</Window>

Window1.xaml.cs:

using System.Windows;
using System.Windows.Controls;

namespace WpfApplication1
{
    public partial class Window1 : Window
    {
        public Window1()
        {
            InitializeComponent();
            double width = 0;
            foreach (ComboBoxItem item in ComboBox1.Items)
            {
                item.Measure(new Size(
                    double.PositiveInfinity, double.PositiveInfinity));
                if (item.DesiredSize.Width > width)
                    width = item.DesiredSize.Width;
            }
            ComboBox1.Measure(new Size(
                double.PositiveInfinity, double.PositiveInfinity));
            ComboBox1.Width = ComboBox1.DesiredSize.Width + width;
        }
    }
}
