WPF ComboBox Selected Item to String

Question

i´ve got a combobox and im trying to set either the x:Name or the content of the selected comboItem (Both is okay, i´ll take the easier one) to an list. But i allways just geht things like this: System.Window.Controls.StackPanel or System.Window.Controls.Comboboxitem..

i tried to do it in many ways, so here s what i have right now:

                 sc.BC = ((ComboBoxItem)comboBox.SelectedItem).Content.ToString();

and in Xaml the list looks like this:

 <ComboBox x:Name="comboBox" SelectedValuePath="Content" IsEnabled="True" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Height="23" Margin="241,21,0,0" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="120">
                    <ComboBoxItem IsSelected="True" x:Name="wertwret">
                        <StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal">
                            <TextBlock Background="White" >---</TextBlock>
                            <TextBlock Text=" item1"/>
                        </StackPanel>
                    </ComboBoxItem>

can anybody help me ? thanks

If the name of ComboBoxItem is what you need, then just:

sc.BC = ((ComboBoxItem)comboBox.SelectedItem).Name;

"--- item1" is compound content of two UI elements.
