<ContentPresenter x:Name="ContentSite"
                  IsHitTestVisible="False"
                  Content="{TemplateBinding SelectionBoxItem}"
                  ContentTemplate="{TemplateBinding SelectionBoxItemTemplate}"
                  ContentTemplateSelector="{TemplateBinding ItemTemplateSelector}"
                  Margin="3,3,23,3"
                  VerticalAlignment="Stretch"
                  HorizontalAlignment="Left">
</ContentPresenter>

Remarks

The ControlTemplate of the ComboBox uses this property to show the selected item in the ComboBox. To get the selected item of the ComboBox outside of the ControlTemplate, use the Selector.SelectedItem property instead of this property.
