Answer 1

I guess what you're looking for is as follows.

public class ComboBoxPairs
{
    public string _Key { get; set; }
    public string _Value { get; set; }

    public ComboBoxPairs(string _key,string _value )
    {
        _Key = _key ;
        _Value = _value ;
    }
}

Then you go on and use this class like this

List cbp = new List();

cbp.Add(new ComboBoxPairs("Microsoft", "MSFT"));
cbp.Add(new ComboBoxPairs("Apple", "AAPL"));

And bind it to the combobox you have

cmbBrokers.DisplayMemberPath = "_Key";
cmbBrokers.SelectedValuePath = "_Value";

cmbBrokers.ItemsSource = cbp;

And When you need to access it just do this

ComboBoxPairs cbp = (ComboBoxPairs)cmbBrokers.SelectedItem;

string _key = cbp._Key;
string _value = cbp._Value;

This is all you need to do.
