Where to find the default ComboBox ControlTemplate?
Is there any tool to extract it from a ComboBox instance?
All I've found is a ComboBox ControlTemplate example, which is completely different from the default one.
In the Designer -> Right Click the ComboBox -> Edit Template -> Edit a Copy

I have a ComboBox in WPF which I wanted to make it white when no items are selected. By default, it is light gray in color.
I tried background = "White" but it doesn't change. Can someone help here
You need to modify the template. Right-click on the ComboBox element in design mode in Visual Studio or in Blend and select the "Edit template" option and then the "Edit a copy..." option to copy the default templates into your XAML markup. Then look for a ToggleButton style with the x:Key attribute "ComboBoxToggleButton" and add a DataTrigger to its ControlTemplate:
<DataTrigger Binding="{Binding SelectedItem, RelativeSource={RelativeSource AncestorType=ComboBox}}" Value="{x:Null}">
<Setter Property="Background" TargetName="templateRoot" Value="White"/>
</DataTrigger>
Please refer to this article for more information.

I'm using Visual Studio 2017 / Windows 10. In my WPF project (targeting .NET 4.5.2) I am trying to set the background of a System.Windows.Controls.ComboBox which according to this is not possible unless you set it in the default template.
There is a walktrough here albeit for Win8 that I followed.
This is my ComboBox
<ComboBox Name="ComboBox"
Height="24"
MinWidth="84"
VerticalAlignment="Center"
HorizontalContentAlignment="Center"
DataContext="{Binding A}"
ItemContainerStyle="{DynamicResource ComboBoxItemV1}"
ItemsSource="{Binding B}"
Padding="2,1"
SelectedItem="{Binding C"
TabIndex="1"
ToolTip="My tip"
ToolTipService.ShowOnDisabled="True" />
After I do Designer -> Right Click the ComboBox -> Edit Template -> Edit a Copy I get the following template:
<ControlTemplate x:Key="ComboBoxControlTemplate1"
TargetType="{x:Type ComboBox}">
<Grid Uid="Grid_15">
<Border BorderBrush="{TemplateBinding BorderBrush}"
BorderThickness="{TemplateBinding BorderThickness}"
Background="{TemplateBinding Background}"
CornerRadius="{DynamicResource ComboBoxCornerRadius}"
Uid="Border_12"
UseLayoutRounding="False">
<Grid Grid.IsSharedSizeScope="True"
Uid="Grid_16">
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition Width="*" />
<ColumnDefinition SharedSizeGroup="ComboBoxButton"
Width="Auto" />
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ContentPresenter x:Name="ContentSite"
ContentTemplate="{TemplateBinding SelectionBoxItemTemplate}"
Content="{TemplateBinding SelectionBoxItem}"
TextElement.Foreground="{TemplateBinding Foreground}"
Margin="{TemplateBinding Padding}"
Uid="ContentSite"
VerticalAlignment="Center" />
<TextBox x:Name="PART_EditableTextBox"
BorderBrush="{TemplateBinding Background}"
Background="{TemplateBinding Background}"
Foreground="{TemplateBinding Foreground}"
AutomationProperties.HelpText="{Binding (AutomationProperties.HelpText), Mode=OneTime, RelativeSource={RelativeSource FindAncestor, AncestorLevel=1, AncestorType={x:Type ComboBox}}}"
Height="Auto"
IsReadOnly="{Binding IsReadOnly, RelativeSource={RelativeSource TemplatedParent}}"
AutomationProperties.LabeledBy="{Binding (AutomationProperties.LabeledBy), Mode=OneTime, RelativeSource={RelativeSource FindAncestor, AncestorLevel=1, AncestorType={x:Type ComboBox}}}"
Margin="1,0,0,0"
MinHeight="0"
AutomationProperties.Name="{Binding (AutomationProperties.Name), Mode=OneTime, RelativeSource={RelativeSource FindAncestor, AncestorLevel=1, AncestorType={x:Type ComboBox}}}"
Padding="0"
TextDecorations="{Binding (ValueEditors:ChoiceEditor.ComboBoxTextDecoration), RelativeSource={RelativeSource TemplatedParent}}"
Uid="TextBox_1"
Visibility="Collapsed" />
<ToggleButton x:Name="DropDownButton"
Grid.ColumnSpan="2"
Focusable="False"
IsChecked="{Binding IsDropDownOpen, Mode=TwoWay, RelativeSource={RelativeSource TemplatedParent}}"
Margin="0"
Style="{DynamicResource ExpressionComboBoxButton}"
Uid="DropDownButton" />
<ToggleButton x:Name="EditableDropDownButton"
Grid.Column="1"
Focusable="False"
IsChecked="{Binding IsDropDownOpen, Mode=TwoWay, RelativeSource={RelativeSource TemplatedParent}}"
Margin="0"
Style="{DynamicResource ExpressionComboBoxButton}"
Uid="EditableDropDownButton"
Visibility="Collapsed" />
</Grid>
</Border>
</Grid>
<ControlTemplate.Triggers>
<Trigger Property="IsEditable"
Value="True">
<Setter Property="Visibility"
TargetName="ContentSite"
Value="Collapsed" />
<Setter Property="Visibility"
TargetName="PART_EditableTextBox"
Value="Visible" />
<Setter Property="Visibility"
TargetName="DropDownButton"
Value="Collapsed" />
<Setter Property="Visibility"
TargetName="EditableDropDownButton"
Value="Visible" />
</Trigger>
<Trigger Property="HasItems"
Value="False">
<Setter Property="MinHeight"
TargetName="DropDownBorder"
Value="95" />
</Trigger>
</ControlTemplate.Triggers>
</ControlTemplate>
However, this immediately casues some errors due to this assembly not being found:
xmlns:ValueEditors="clr-namespace:Microsoft.VisualStudio.DesignTools.Utility.ValueEditors;assembly=Microsoft.VisualStudio.DesignTools.Utility"
which is used here
TextDecorations="{Binding (ValueEditors:ChoiceEditor.ComboBoxTextDecoration), RelativeSource={RelativeSource TemplatedParent}}"
I tracked down that assembly and added it as a reference and then there's another error:
Cannot find the Trigger target 'DropDownBorder'. (The target must appear before any Setters, Triggers, or Conditions that use it.)
<Setter Property="MinHeight"
TargetName="DropDownBorder"
Value="95" />
I deleted the above just so it compiles, result is not good:
So, what am I doing wrong? What am I missing? Also, why was I getting the compile errors after a VS operation? I hope somebody tried to edit the ComboBox template in VS2017 / Windows 10 and can share some thoughts.
TL;DR Editing the default ComboBox template in VS2017/Win10 went haywire. Anybody did that successfully?
I also use VS2017 with Win10, but the 'Edit Template' fucntion worked just fine to me. Don't know which version of .net are you targeting, but you template of Combobox seems missed a lot of content. DropDownBorder should be a descendant of PART_Popup which represent the dropdown part of a combobox. Any way, the complete template of combobox in .net version 4.7.1 should like below:
<Style x:Key="FocusVisual">
<Setter Property="Control.Template">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate>
<Rectangle Margin="2" SnapsToDevicePixels="true" Stroke="{DynamicResource {x:Static SystemColors.ControlTextBrushKey}}" StrokeThickness="1" StrokeDashArray="1 2"/>
</ControlTemplate>

But even you can get the right template from VS, you still can get something close enough to start you work from msdn.
I want to change background color of my ComboBox. I mean background color of the comboBox, not items in popup list, see the picture. That's all I need! Why this is so difficult to do!? Why this doesn't work out of the box? I would like to find solution in MVVM-approach, without hacks in code-behind, etc.
p.s. Of course I've tried all suggestions from similar discussions - it doesn't work for me (Windows 10 - maybe this is important).
Thank you!
If you look at the default style you'll understand why it doesn't work out of the box. See below where CustomBrush1 is applied to change the color you want:

EDIT: Note though you may not be able to make it much smaller just because you're changing things inside the ControlTemplate. And whilst you can have a Style that is BasedOn another style, which reduces the amount of necessary XAML, the same is NOT true with a Template. With a Template you have to copy everything.
Here's a quote from Adam Nathan's excellent book, WPF Unleashed:
There is no mechanism for tweaking existing templates (like Style’s BasedOn). Instead, you can easily retrieve a XAML representation for any existing (...) template, modify it, and then apply it as a brand-new (...) template.
I am customizing how my validations show in my WPF application. I have a single style.xaml for my application and most of my control styles look like the following textbox style.
<Style x:Key="TextBoxInputField" TargetType="TextBox" BasedOn="{StaticResource TextBoxFieldBase}">
<Setter Property="ToolTip" Value="{Binding RelativeSource={RelativeSource Self}, Path=(Validation.Errors), Converter={converters:ValidationErrorsToErrorMessagesConverter}}" />
<Setter Property="Background" Value="{Binding RelativeSource={RelativeSource Self}, Path=(Validation.Errors), Converter={converters:ValidationErrorsToBackgroundColorConverter}}" />
<Setter Property="Validation.ErrorTemplate">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate>
</ControlTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</Style>
This sets the tooltip and the background according to whether or not the bound property has validation errors. But when I try something similar with the combobox style the background is set according to Snoop, but the combobox does not appear yellow in the UI.
<Style x:Key="ComboBoxValidation" TargetType="ComboBox" BasedOn="{StaticResource ComboBox}">
<Setter Property="Background" Value="{Binding RelativeSource={RelativeSource Self}, Path=(Validation.Errors), Converter={converters:ValidationErrorsToBackgroundColorConverter}}" />
<Setter Property="ToolTip" Value="{Binding RelativeSource={RelativeSource Self}, Path=(Validation.Errors), Converter={converters:ValidationErrorsToErrorMessagesConverter}}" />
<Setter Property="Validation.ErrorTemplate">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate>
</ControlTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</Style>
What can I do to change the background of the combobox to show in the UI?
I ran in to this issue a year ago, it has to do with WPF using OS Windows styles for the combo box regardless of your background color. To get around this you need to completely define the combobox style. I created this combobox style which would need tweaking but could give you an idea.

I used the Document Outline window in VS to create a template for the combobox. I tried to keep things matching the names you used for the most part. I tried to post the code that goes with it but it put it over the char limit for an answer. The XAML is a lot to look at... I think all I changed was the Background="{TemplateBinding Background}" in a couple of spots and the parts that use your converters.

I have a ComboBox that has a border around all of the ComboBoxItems as a whole. The picture below shows a white line around the ComboBoxItems in purple. The white line surrounding all of those ComboBoxItems is what I'm trying to remove.
Here is my code.
<ComboBox Name="mycombobox" IsEditable="True" IsReadOnly="True" Text="Test Text" Foreground="Black" BorderThickness="1" BorderBrush="Purple" Background="Yellow" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Width="240" Height="20">
<ComboBox.ItemContainerStyle>
<Style TargetType="ComboBoxItem">
<Setter Property="Background" Value="Purple"/>
<Setter Property="BorderThickness" Value="0"/>
</Style>
</ComboBox.ItemContainerStyle>
<ComboBoxItem Name="subItem1">subItem1</ComboBoxItem>
<ComboBoxItem Name="subItem2">subItem2</ComboBoxItem>
<ComboBoxItem Name="subItem3">subItem3</ComboBoxItem>
<ComboBoxItem Name="subItem4">subItem4</ComboBoxItem>
<ComboBoxItem Name="subItem5">subItem5</ComboBoxItem>
</ComboBox>
I've tried setting border settings in the ItemContainerStyle, but nothing I do removes that border. Any help is appreciated.
You need to edit the Popup border of the ComboBox Control Template. Either by setting the main ComboBox BorderThickness/BorderBrush property as I can see it is template bounded, or by recreating the whole ControlTemplate and having a custom Popup:
Source: MSDN ComboBox Styles And Templates
EDIT
I would HIGHLY recommend using Blend to do this rather than try to recreate the ControlTempalte yourself.
Right Click ComboBox -> Edit Template -> Edit A Copy
Expand PART_Popup and look for the shadow element and move its child (dropDownBorder) into the shadows parent (PART_Popup)
Select dropDownBorder element and choose BorderBrush property and then choose "No Brush"
Without Blend it gets really nasty :|.
This is how it looks:
Here is the code that blend generated (Obviously you would put this into a separate style in a resource dictionary!):
