How to use Combo Box AddRange in WPF C#

Question

I have a little problem, I have an array and I want to add that in a Combobox, so I want to use the AddRange method, but it isn't available in WPF, is there a way that I can do it in the combobox?

Thanks.

You can't do it in a single statement, no. You will have to loop over the array using foreach, adding each item individually. Obviously you can encapsulate this in a helper or extension method if you plan to do this a lot.

If you're databinding the ComboBox.ItemsSource to an ObservableCollection (rather than manipulating ComboBox.Items directly), there is a trick you can use to avoid getting collection change notifications for each individual Add, described in the answers to this question.
