ComboBox problems

I am having a really weird issue with the comboBox in C# Visual Studio.

I have this code 

private void cmbType_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        if(cmbType.Text == "tiger")
        {
            chk1.IsChecked = true;
        }
    }

If I select tiger nothing happens but when I select the one below it which is "bears".. It checks the box

    {
        chk1.Checked = true;

}

You can do it this way

private void ComboBox_SelectionChanged(object sender, SelectionChangedEventArgs e)
{
    var comboBoxItem = e.AddedItems[0] as ComboBoxItem;
    if (comboBoxItem == null) return;
    var content = comboBoxItem.Content as string;
    if (content != null && content.Equals("tiger"))
    {
        cbAnimal.IsChecked = true;
    }
}

You should check the comboBox items based on the index, as the text changes after the selected index

private void cmbType_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    if(cmbType.SelectedText.ToString() == "tiger")
    {
        chk1.IsChecked = true;
    }
}

Try this:

private void cmbType_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    if((string) cmbType.SelectedItem == "tiger")
    {
        chk1.IsChecked = true;
    }
}
