Combo Box Question

Question

I have added items in a combo box using datatable and rows. First it returned the value, and now it's returning dataRow. I don't know the reason why it's returning like that. Can anyone help?

string selectedValue = cbx_language.Text.ToString();

Answer 1

It should be

string selectedValue = cbx_language.SelectedValue

Answer 2

Use string selectedValue = cbx_language.SelectedItem.ToString

This way, it does not matter what type of items you add using Items.Add/Insert.

Answer 3

Is the value you are getting is System.data.datarow? & if It is then Please set valueMember & DisplayMember properties of combo box to the column name u fetching in datatable.

Answer 4

try this

string selectedValue = cbx_language.SelectedValue.ToString()
