                  ItemsSource="{Binding}"

                    <RoundRectangle CornerRadius="4" />
                </Border.StrokeShape>
                <Label Text="{Binding Name}" FontAttributes="Bold" TextColor="Gray"/>
            </Border>
        </DataTemplate>
    </dxe:ComboBoxEdit.DisplayItemTemplate>
</dxe:ComboBoxEdit>

C#

public MainPage() {
    InitializeComponent();
    this.BindingContext = new List<Person>() {
        new Person {Name = "Devin", Age = 50, Location = "Atlanta"},
        new Person {Name = "Brenda", Age = 25, Location = "Memphis"},
        new Person {Name = "Sean", Age = 36, Location = "Houston"}
    };
}
public class Person {
    public string Name { get; set; }
    public int Age { get; set; }
    public string Location { get; set; }
}

If you want to apply the drop-down list item’s template (the ItemTemplate property) to the display item, set the UseItemTemplateAsDisplayItemTemplate property to true. If you set both the ItemTemplate and DisplayItemTemplate properties and enable the UseItemTemplateAsDisplayItemTemplate property, the DisplayItemTemplate property has a higher priority.
