Getting "Itemdata" from WPF ComboBox - ItemTemplate

See more:

WPF

combobox

I left the less than sign off the first character in the XML below as it didnt want to paste in properly.

I am new to WPF and still trying to get the basics figured out. I finally got data to populate the combobox (see XAML below) but now I need to know how to get the data out of it in VB.NET when the user clicks on a selection.

The old days it was like combobox.itemdata(1)

How on earth do you do this with the WPF and ItemTemplate

Thanks for any help!

combobox margin="248,72,15,0" name="comboBox2" datacontext="{StaticResource AccountsViewSource}" itemssource="{Binding}" verticalalignment="Top" height="20" background="Plum">

combobox.itemtemplate>
 <datatemplate>

 stackpanel orientation="Horizontal">
 textblock text="{Binding Accountnum}" width="100" />
 textblock text="{Binding Description}" width="200" />
 /stackpanel>

/datatemplate>

/combobox.itemtemplate>
 /combobox>

</datatemplate>

Thank you!
