Static resource constructor with parameters

Question

I have to create in my XAML file a static resource.

<Window.Resources>
    <vm:ViewModel x:Key="viewModel" />
</Window.Resources>

I need this static resource to get the items for my combobox

ItemsSource="{Binding Source={StaticResource viewModel}, Path=GetItems, Mode=TwoWay}"

But how can I give the ViewModel (constructor) a instance of my code behind class?

Answer 1

If I understand this correctly, you are violating the MVVM pattern. You should never provide items from the ComboBox into your VM. You should rather provide the items from you VM and bind it to the Combobox, and the you don't have problems accessing the items.
