How about something like this?


        <ComboBox x:Name="LengthComboBox" ItemsSource="{Binding Lengths}" VerticalAlignment="Top"/>
        <TextBox MaxLength="{Binding ElementName=LengthComboBox, Path=SelectedValue}" VerticalAlignment="Top"/>

Lengths items should be of type int

This is direct Binding. If you need some calulation, you have to use Converter

<Window x:Class="WpfApp1.MainWindow"
        xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
        xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
        xmlns:d="http://schemas.microsoft.com/expression/blend/2008"
        xmlns:mc="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/markup-compatibility/2006"
        xmlns:local="clr-namespace:WpfApp1"
        mc:Ignorable="d"
        Title="MainWindow" Height="450" Width="800">
    <Window.Resources>
        <local:MyConverter x:Key="MyConverter"/>
    </Window.Resources>
    <Grid>
        <StackPanel Orientation="Vertical">
        <ComboBox x:Name="LengthComboBox" ItemsSource="{Binding Lengths}" VerticalAlignment="Top"/>
            <TextBox MaxLength="{Binding ElementName=LengthComboBox, Path=SelectedValue, Converter={StaticResource MyConverter}}" VerticalAlignment="Top"/>
        </StackPanel>
    </Grid>
</Window>

---------------

public class MyConverter : IValueConverter
    {
        public object Convert(object value, Type targetType, object parameter, CultureInfo culture)
        {
            if (value is not int)
                return value;

            return (int)value * 2;
        }

        public object ConvertBack(object value, Type targetType, object parameter, CultureInfo culture)
        {
            throw new NotImplementedException();
        }
    }

PS: Lengths is a Property of the ViewModel behind the View

        public MainWindow()
        {
            InitializeComponent();
            this.DataContext = new VM()
            {
                Lengths = new List<int>()
                {
                    1, 2, 5, 9, 15, 30
                }
            };
        }
