protected void BindAllDropdown()
    {
        ddlFirstName.ItemsSource = BLL.GetAllContacts();
        ddlFirstName.DisplayMember = "FirstName";
        ddlFirstName.ValueMember = "ContactID";


        ddlLastName.ItemsSource = BLL.GetAllContacts();
        ddlLastName.DisplayMember = "LastName";
        ddlLastName.ValueMember = "ContactID";


    }

Use the ComboBoxEdit.EditValue property:

void ComboBoxEdit_EditValueChanged(object sender, EditValueChangedEventArgs e) {
    string contid = cb.EditValue.ToString();
}
