SelectionBoxItem vs SelectedItem properties of Combobox in WPF
I am having hard time understanding the difference between the SelectionBoxItem and the SelectedItem Property of the ComboBox class. I already checked their documentation in the MSDN site (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.controls.combobox_properties%28v=VS.100%29.aspx)
Their definition is very similar so I am unable to see the distinction between the two properties. Here are the respective definition for SelectedItem and SelectionBoxItem according the msdn documentation
SelectedItem: Gets or sets the first item in the current selection or returns null if the selection is empty  (Inherited from Selector.)
SelectionBoxItem: Gets the item that is displayed in the selection box.

The .NET Framework is not specific to any one programming language; rather, it includes a library of functions that allows developers to rapidly build applications. Several supported languages include C#, VB.NET, C++ or ASP.NET.
