So, here's what I've found.

To declare an ArrayList in the Window.Resources:

        <l:ArrayList x:Key="telephoneTypes" />

Bind the ComboBox ItemsSource:

ItemsSource="{Binding Source={StaticResource telephoneTypes}}"

In the code behind file:

            ArrayList arrlist = this.Resources["telephoneTypes"] as ArrayList;
            arrlist.AddRange(this.PhoneList);

(My PhoneList is a MereMortals Business Object EntityList.)

I don't get the reason for having to create a StaticResource, I would've thought setting the ItemsSource to PhoneList should've worked.

Anyway, for anyone else who might wander down this path!
