Q: 

Using Silverlight, how do I prompt the selected item's value on a SelectionChanged event?

I can do this very easily on normal Combobox as SelectedText or SelectedValue, but using Silverlight, I can't get to that option.

A: 

Use the SelectedItem property

SelectedItem give me the type, but not the value itself.It returns me ComboBoxItem, that's not what I want.

It returns ComboBoxItem because you defined the items in your list as ComboBoxItems... if you define the content with the ItemsSource property, it will return the actual data items. How do you define the "value" of a ComboBoxItem anyway ?

A: 

I figured out myself already, I need to define a strong type, thanks
