Open up “AutoData.xaml.cs” " You really don't have to do this hack - defining a DataTemplate is sufficient, even if it is just to hold one TextBlock that is bound to the property you want, e.g. Name. Plus your change would get blown away any time you modify the sample data definitions. It would have been nice if they had provided a DisplayMemberPath property as with other controls like ListBox, as it saves you from having to create a DataTemplate for trivial cases.
