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

myCombo.SelectedItem.Content

will return the content of the ComboBoxItem. This could be a TextBlock, etc. depending on what you have in there, and what you are using for an item template.
