Question

I have a ComboBox in editable mode in my wpf application and I would like to know what would be the best way to get its Items string values for use. I tried moviecomboBox.Items.CurrentItem.ToString(), but it doesn’t work.

Edit: Here is a part of my xaml code:

<ComboBox DisplayMemberPath="Movie" Grid.Column="1" Height="23" HorizontalAlignment="Left" ItemsSource="{Binding}" Margin="9,4,0,4" Name="movieComboBox" VerticalAlignment="Center" Width="120" IsEditable="True">
            <ComboBox.ItemsPanel>
                <ItemsPanelTemplate>
                    <VirtualizingStackPanel />
                </ItemsPanelTemplate>
            </ComboBox.ItemsPanel>
        </ComboBox>

And I would like to be able to use the Items values in xaml.cs file.
