Assigning myComboBox.SelectedValue=myValue; does'nt work?

Question

Hi All, I trying to assign the value to be selected value in the combooBox in Universal windows. The problem is, when I assign the value (already in the item source) to the SelectedValue to the comboBox, it does'nt gets selected. But, when i assign the respective value's index in "SelectedIndex" property, it works fine. I done this same in WPF and it works in both ways. Does anyone face such kind of same issues? If so, kindly share your ideas to overcome it. Thanks & Regards, Amresh S.

It would be better that you should upload your sample code, so that we can find out and give proper solution for that.

Hi @Amit, Sorry for the late response, had been out of town. I'm working with the universal project types and in that, combobox component doesn't have a text property. In WPF, I worked this same and also directly assigning a object's value to the "SelectedValue" property sets the value to the combobox. In Unversal windows, this does'nt work. If possible I'll try out a sample and update here. Regards, Amresh S.
