Here is MSDN Reference.

As SelectedItem returns Object. It returns specific row object which is selected. Here is how you will get value:

DataRowView oDataRowView = cmbKala.SelectedItem as DataRowView;
string sValue = string.Empty;

if (oDataRowView != null) {
   sValue = oDataRowView.Row["kName"] as string;
}
