Chaining ComboBoxes

This sample demonstrates how to chain two ComboBoxex using filtering and binding.

The source for the first ComboBox is used to filter out options in the second ComboBox.

When you select a country from the first ComboBox below, the second will be filtered to show only cities in that country.
