Get selected value from combo box in C# WPF

Question

I have just started using WPF forms instead of Windows Forms forms. In a Windows Forms form I could just do:

ComboBox.SelectedValue.toString(); 

And this would work fine.

How do I do this in WPF? It doesn't seem to have the option.

Answer 1

I have figured it out a bit of a strange way of doing it compared to the old WF forms:

ComboBoxItem typeItem = (ComboBoxItem)cboType.SelectedItem; string value = typeItem.Content.ToString(); 

Answer 2

Well.. I found a simpler solution.

String s = comboBox1.Text; 

This way I get the selected value as string.
