Silverlight - how do I get the text of the selected item in a combobox

Question

Easy one for you all...

I\'m new to Silverlight and really missing stuff like DataTables and things. What I\'m also currently struggling with is how to get the text

Answer 1

If you have a simple combobox for an array of strings, you can get the selected string using

(string)e.AddedItems[0];

Suppose I have a product list combo and I want to know the selected product name. So in the SelectionChanged Event I write the following code:

private void productCombo_SelectionChanged(object sender, System.Windows.Controls.SelectionChangedEventArgs e)
        {
            string product_type=(string)e.AddedItems[0];
        }
