WPF DataGridComboBoxColumn's itemsource is class collection which has multiple properties and display one

While when DataGridComboBoxColumn binding to a class collection,for example it will bind to class country which has CountryName and CountryCode properties,while it only displays CountryName

Be cautious,the DataGridComboBoxColumn's item source must be  static properties and initialize in static constructor.

From another perspective,we must believe that the Microsoft has provider a suite of controls to develop various applications in wpf, and validated useful and correct in engineering practice.I will presen the demo
