I read that article before and I have already implimented the work around for SelectedValue where my datasources are web service objects.<br />
<br />
SelectedItem brings back the whole object. &nbsp;I am hoping it works for a static list in the combo box. &nbsp;The web service is down, so I'll test it in a bit when it comes back up.

SelectedItem brings back the whole object.  I am hoping it works for a static list in the combo box.  The web service is down, so I'll test it in a bit when it comes back up.

<div>
<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
In WPF, I had a combo box with an attribute of &quot;Text&quot; &nbsp;I was able to bind the selected value of the combo box with the following: &nbsp;Text=&quot;{Binding CarrierCriteria.insExpDate<wbr />Operator}&quot;<wbr /><br />
<br />
In Silverlight, there is no Text attribute. &nbsp;How do I capture the users selected value?<br />
<br />
Here is the element:<br />
&lt;ComboBox &gt;<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&lt;ComboBoxItem Content=&quot;&amp;gt;&quot;&gt;&lt;/ComboBoxI<wbr />tem&gt;<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&lt;ComboBoxItem Content=&quot;&amp;gt;=&quot;&gt;&lt;/ComboBox<wbr />Item&gt;<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&lt;ComboBoxItem Content=&quot;&amp;lt;&quot;&gt;&lt;/ComboBoxI<wbr />tem&gt;<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&lt;ComboBoxItem Content=&quot;&amp;lt;=&quot;&gt;&lt;/ComboBox<wbr />Item&gt;<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&lt;ComboBoxItem Content=&quot;=&quot;&gt;&lt;/ComboBoxItem<wbr />&gt;<br />
