WPF combobox value and display text

Question

I\'m used to doing things like

State.Items.Add(new ListItem { Text = \"SomeState\", Value = NumericIDofState });

Where State is a Listbox in A

Answer 1

If you skip the Value, then I think it's quite simple to add a new item into a ComboBox during runtime.

comboBox1.Items.Add("SomeText");

comboBox1.SelectedIndex = comboBox1.Items.Count - 1;

The SelectedIndex property is set to Items.Count-1 so that the newly added item appears in the ComboBox as the selected item.
