c# - WPF ComboBox with image -

i'm trying populate combo images. defined as:

<combobox selecteditem="{binding selectedlangcomboitem}"           itemssource="{binding languages}">     <combobox.itemtemplate>         <datatemplate>             <stackpanel orientation="horizontal">                 <image source="{binding image}" />                 <textblock text="{binding label}" />             </stackpanel>         </datatemplate>     </combobox.itemtemplate> </combobox> 

where items languageitem classes:

public class languageitem {   public system.drawing.bitmap image { get; set; }   public string label { get; set; }   public string culture { get; set; }    public languageitem(system.drawing.bitmap image, string label, string culture)   {     image = image;     label = label;     culture = culture;   } } 

now, in viewmodel c'tor do:

  _languages = new observablecollection<languageitem>();    system.reflection.assembly app = system.reflection.assembly.getexecutingassembly();   system.io.stream file;   file = app.getmanifestresourcestream("mynamespace.images.flag1.gif");   _languages.add(new languageitem(new bitmap(file), "italian", "it-it"));   file = app.getmanifestresourcestream("mynamespace.images.flag2.gif");   _languages.add(new languageitem(new bitmap(file), "english", "en-en"));    this.selectedlangitem = _languages[0]; 

the images embedded resources. here have 2 problems:

1. the images not displayed;

2. the item not selected, selectedlangitem is:

   public languageitem selectedlangitem { { return _selectedlangitem; } set { if (_selectedlangitem == value) return;

       _selectedlangitem = value;     this.raisepropertychanged("selectedlangitem");   } } 

use

new bitmapimage(new uri("mynamespace.images.flag1.gif", urikind.relative)); 

as have implement imagesource

and regarding not selected: property name "selectedlangitem" while in xaml selectedlangcomboitem if did not mistype.

code:

this.raisepropertychanged("selectedlangitem"); 

xaml:

<combobox selecteditem="{binding selectedlangcomboitem}"
