In your xaml, you can bind the ItemSource and SelectedItem as shown below:

MainPage.xaml

<UserControl x:Class="App1.MainPage"
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:App1"
mc:Ignorable="d"
d:DesignHeight="300" d:DesignWidth="400">

<UserControl.DataContext>
    <local:MainPage_ViewModel/>
</UserControl.DataContext>

<Grid x:Name="LayoutRoot" Background="White">
    <ComboBox ItemsSource="{Binding MyItems}" SelectedItem="{Binding SelectedItem, Mode=TwoWay}" SelectionChanged="ComboBox_SelectionChanged" Height="30" Width="100"/>
</Grid>

In the MainPage.xaml.cs, your Selection changed method could just call the method on your ViewModel since you are using SL3:

MainPage.xaml.cs

public partial class MainPage : UserControl
{
    public MainPage()
    {
        InitializeComponent();
    }

    private MainPage_ViewModel viewModel
    {
        get { return this.DataContext as MainPage_ViewModel; }
    }

    private void ComboBox_SelectionChanged(object sender, SelectionChangedEventArgs e)
    {
        this.viewModel.SelectionChanged();
    }
}

Your ViewModel would have the MyItems collection and the SelectedItem to bind to:

MainPage_ViewModel.cs

public class MainPage_ViewModel : INotifyPropertyChanged
{
    public ObservableCollection<string> MyItems
    {
        get { return myItems; }
        set { myItems = value; }
    }
    private ObservableCollection<string> myItems = new ObservableCollection<string>() { "One", "Two", "Three" };

    public string SelectedItem
    {
        get { return selectedItem; }
        set { selectedItem = value; }
    }
    private string selectedItem = string.Empty;

    public void SelectionChanged()
    {
        //Perform logic that needs to happen when selection changes
    }

    public void OnPropertyChanged(string propertyName)
    {
        if (PropertyChanged != null)
        {
            PropertyChanged(this, new PropertyChangedEventArgs(propertyName));
        }
    }
    public event PropertyChangedEventHandler PropertyChanged;
}

Depending on what you were using your SelectionChanged method for, you may no longer need it since this would bind the SelectedItem to the ViewModel.

Hope this helps!
