Hello, I have the following scenario:

1 class called 'Widget' with the properties: ID, Code, Description
1 class called 'MyWidget' with a property: m_Widget As Widget
1 ComboBox

The ComboBox has a List(Of Widget) set as the ItemSource.

I create an instance of 'MyWidget' named MyWidget1 and I set the property values of the m_Widget to match one of the items in the 'ComboBox List(Of Widget)'. I then set the DataContext of the ComboBox to MyWidget1.Widget.

When I change the ComboBox selected item, only the ID property of 'MyWidget1.Widget' gets updated...

How do I get the object 'Widget' on 'MyWidget1' to be updated instead of just 'MyWidget1.Widget.ID'?

Here is a link to a sample project demonstrating this scenario:

Thanks in advance for any help :)
