In comboBox you can store two things
-Display Text
-Combo Value

If you select display Text, then write following code to get Combo Value
comboBox1.SelectedValue

Did you try to see the value of index under debugger. -1? 0?

are you sure that your combobox has a value?

if it has a value then try this:

C#

int index =Convert.ToInt16(cmbCameraName.FindName(CameraName));
                      cmbCameraName.SelectedIndex = index;

...

int index =Convert.ToInt16(combobox.selectedvalue = index);
