Selecting ComboBox item programmatically

Question

I bind my ComboBox with static way.

when I set the string value which I get from item object (from service method), for example item.AssignmentType="xyz" I want to make it selectable in combobox. I tried below, but not working

<ComboBoxItem Content="abc"/>
<ComboBoxItem Content="xyz"/>
<ComboBoxItem Content="pqrs"/>

string assignmenttype = item.AssignmentType.ToString();
AssignmentTypeCombobox.SelectedIndex =
AssignmentTypeCombobox.Items.IndexOf(assignmenttype);

[Combobox.SelectedItem](https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.forms.combobox.selecteditem(v=vs.110).aspx) — bansi, Feb 20 '17 at 06:00

You can bind everything senseful to a ComboBox. I would recommend some kind of collection (ObservableCollection). You need to set the DataContext to this collection and you´re ready to go. For further details check this: Bind collection to combobox
