Not sure why SelectedValue doesn't return anything... I assume it could be due to the fact that you're not using data binding (DataSource). You should try to assign a list of cards to the DataSource property.

You need to cast it to the item's type ; but since it is an anonymous type, you can't... you should probably create a type to hold the value and text of the card, and cast to this type :

Card card = ComboBox.SelectedItem as Card;
if (card != null)
{
    // do something with card.Value
}
