If your ItemsSource for the ComboBox is a collection of strings, then SelectedItem will also be a string, albeit wrapped in an object.
So I'd try this:
private void cmb_StuffGroup_SelectionChanged(object sender, SelectionChangedEventArgs e){ string str = comboBox1.SelectedItem as string;
if (str != null) MessageBox.Show(str, "ITEM");
}
