WPF - MVVM: ComboBox value after SelectionChanged

Question

I am new to C# and MVVM, and I\'ve spent all day trying to get the value of a ComboBox to my ViewModel on SelectionChanged. I have managed to figure it

Answer 1

Why not do it the simpler way

In your ViewModel declare the combo box items and use a property "Source" to return it to the view

List _source = new List{"Item 1", "Item 2", "Item 3"};
public List Source 
{ 
    get { return _source; } 
}

Then define one property which holds the selected item

string _theSelectedItem = null;
public string TheSelectedItem 
{ 
    get { return _theSelectedItem; } 
    set { _theSelectedItem = value; } // NotifyPropertyChanged
}

Also don't forget to implement the INotifyPropertyChanged interface while setting the _source
