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();

Ensure you have set the name for your ComboBox in your XAML file:

In your code you can access selected item using SelectedItem property:

MessageBox.Show(comboBox.SelectedItem.ToString());
