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();

Answer 1

My XAML is as below:

The content is showing as text and the name of the WPF combobox. To get the name of the selected item, I have follow this line of code:

ComboBoxItem ComboItem = (ComboBoxItem)cmbDeviceDefinitionId.SelectedItem;
string name = ComboItem.Name;

To get the selected text of a WPF combobox:

string name = cmbDeviceDefinitionId.SelectionBoxItem.ToString();
