What is the simplest way to get the selected text of a combo box containing only text entries?
In your xml add SelectedValuePath=”Content” <ComboBox Name=”cboPickOne” SelectedValuePath=”Content” > <ComboBoxItem>This</ComboBoxItem> <ComboBoxItem>should be</ComboBoxItem> <ComboBoxItem>easier!</ComboBoxItem> </ComboBox> This way when you use .SelectedValue.ToString() in the C# code it will just get the string value without all the extra junk: stringValue = cboPickOne.SelectedValue.ToString()
