How to select item in comboBox by name in WPF C#?
You can't do it like on WinForms in WPF:

comboBox2.SelectedIndex = comboBox2.Items.IndexOf("Вася");

I add the values ​​in the comboBox like this:

comboBox2.ItemsSource = r2.ResultData.DefaultView;
comboBox2.SelectedValuePath = r2.ResultData.DefaultView.Table.Columns["id"].ToString(); 
comboBox2.DisplayMemberPath = r2.ResultData.DefaultView.Table.Columns["name"].ToString();

Answer 1

Items is used for "item" work, and ItemsSource for connection of collections. You cannot work with them at the same time - either Items or ItemsSource.
So your code should look something like this:
But this will not work, since the elements in the ComboBox are the elements from the table as a whole, and not just the names. Therefore, it is better and more convenient to use the SelectedItem property, something like this:
Better yet, bind the comboBox2.SelectedItem property through Binding to some property of your model and use it.

Answer 2

Wouldn't it be better to use binding ?
