I already tried with the following code.

Hi,

if the error is CmbFilter is not in the current context, it means that you probably misspelled the name of the combobox, or it is out of scope at the point where you use this code.

Second, the type of SelectedItem is probably not ComboBoxItem, but the item/record type of the underlaying table, which you assigned to ItemsSource.
