I will initialize ComboBox values whil

Answer 1

EmployeeType selected = (EmployeeType)combobox1.SelectedItem;

You might want to check for null (no selection) first though.

For completeness, here was the sample program I set up. The XAML:

and the code-behind:

using System;
using System.Windows;

namespace WpfApplication1
{
    /// 

    /// Interaction logic for MainWindow.xaml
    /// 
    public partial class MainWindow : Window
    {
        public MainWindow()
        {
            InitializeComponent();
            _ComboBox.ItemsSource = Enum.GetValues(typeof(Whatever));
        }

        public enum Whatever
        {
            One,
            Two,
            Three,
            Four
        }

        private void Button_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
        {
            if (_ComboBox.SelectedItem == null)
            {
                MessageBox.Show("No Selection");
            }
            else
            {
                Whatever whatever = (Whatever)_ComboBox.SelectedItem;
                MessageBox.Show(whatever.ToString());
            }
        }
    }
}
