I have a ComboBox that uses a DataTemplate. The DataTemplate contains a binding which uses an IValueConverter to convert an enumerated value into a string. The problem is that the value converter is never invoked.

This is my XAML:

    <ComboBox ItemsSource="{Binding Path=StatusChoices, Mode=OneWay}">
        <ComboBox.ItemTemplate>
            <DataTemplate>
                <TextBlock Text="{Binding Converter={StaticResource StatusToTextConverter}}"/>
            </DataTemplate>
        </ComboBox.ItemTemplate>
    </ComboBox>

Is my binding not correct? I thought this is how one implicitly binds to the value a DataTemplate is presenting. Am I wrong?
