Hello guys

I got this cbxJobPosition_SelectionChanged firing as expected. The problem is when a external method tries to set cbxJobPosition.

cbxJobPosition is databinded with a list of objects of type JobPosition:

• JobPositionID: 1, JobPositionName: Manager

• JobPositionID: 2, JobPositionName: Employee

• JobPositionID: 3, JobPositionName: Third party

Here's the XAML:

<ComboBox Cursor="Hand" DataContext="{Binding}" ItemsSource="{Binding}"
FontSize="13" Name="cbxJobPosition"     
SelectedValuePath="JobPositionID" DisplayMemberPath="JobPositionName" 
SelectedIndex="0" Width="233" Height="23" 
SelectionChanged="cbxJobPosition_SelectionChanged" />

On UserControl_Loaded method, it reads from database the list of jobs and try to set the specific job position "Third party":

//calls cbxJobPosition_SelectionChanged and passes the correct SelectedValue within
cbxJobPosition.SelectedIndex = 3;

//calls cbxJobPosition_SelectionChanged and but won't pass the correct SelectedValue within
cbxJobPosition.SelectedValue = "3";

As you can notice, when the processing is automatically redirected to cbxJobPosition_SelectionChanged, the SelectedValue attribute will have different values for each statement above when you're debugging within cbxJobPosition_SelectionChanged event.

Does anyone know if this difference is expected, am I missing something or it could be a bug?
