Autocompletebox binding problem
I have an autocomplete box where I am trying to bind the selected item to a propery of the item that is actually selected.
I.e. I have a Client object with a Name property, and the ItemsSource of my autocomplete box is a List of Clients.

The property I am trying to bind as the selected Item is a String, called SelectedClientName.
But because SelectedClientName is not of type Client, I cannot bind it directly.

As a work around, I am using a converter.
But I would like to know if there is a way to do this in the binding without converters.
