var wijmo_binders = {};

wijmo_binders.getLabelValueBindings = function (collection, label, value) {

    var coll, idx, item, list = [];

    coll = ko.utils.unwrapObservable(collection);

    for (idx = 0; idx < coll.length; idx = idx + 1) {
        item = coll[idx];
        list.push({
            "label": ko.utils.unwrapObservable(item[label]),
            "value": ko.utils.unwrapObservable(item[value])
        });
    }

    return list;
};

I use it like this ..

list = wijmo_binders.getLabelValueBindings(coll, "Name", "TableId");

where "list" is bound as the data: to a combobox. I imagine I'll have more wijmo_binders which is why I created it that way.

Routines could be built into the controls like this, for instance. (Notice the label/name tags ... in the data-bind)

data-bind=wijlist: { listItems: list, label: 'Name', value: 'TableId', selectionMode: 'multiple' }">

Internally wijmo use the routine above to pull the label/name out of the collection (list) passed in, just a thought. It sure would make it easy for users to use wijmo/ko tegether, if they leave off the label/value bindings then the list alrleady has properties by those names.

Lovin me some wijmo + ko man, good work! I’m using it on a side project and my work is now going to use your controls since you added Knockout support, so quite a few purchases will be rolling in.
