You can save any dependency property actually.

Can You plz elaborate this more deeply

Well dependency properties can't retain the combobox's state after closing your application.
You have to save the state in a registry.

Well in that case you can save the state of combobox by creating a registry on your computer for it. Save its registry value with that of its state and retrieve it when needed!

For example,I have used this technique for getting the last selected path so that next time the user can go straight to the folder path in the OpenDialog box.

Here are few links to create registries:
