How to get the selected value in the WinUI SfAutoComplete?

In this article, we explore the SelectionValuePath property of the WinUI SfAutoComplete control. This property allows you to specify which value should be used as the SelectedValue from the control’s SelectedItem. The SelectionValuePath defines the path to the property within the selected item that will be assigned to SelectedValue. By default, both SelectedValue and SelectionValuePath are set to null.

<editors:SfAutoComplete 
   SelectedValuePath="ID"
   x:Name="autoComplete"
   TextMemberPath="Name"   
   DisplayMemberPath="Name"
   ItemsSource="{Binding SocialMedias}" 
   SelectionChanged="OnSelectionChanged"/>

<TextBlock Text="SelectedValue :"/>
<TextBlock x:Name="selectedValue"/>

private void OnSelectionChanged(object sender, AutoCompleteSelectionChangedEventArgs e)
{
   selectedValue.Text = autoComplete.SelectedValue.ToString();
}
