    to get the selected items text in a variable you can get like this: cboOrderTypes.SelectedItem.Text or if you want to get the value of the selected item then like this you can get: cboOrderTypes.SelectedItem.Value.ToString()

                    Yes I know. I also thought it would be something like SelectedText because there is a SelectedValue. But thanks for getting back anyways. Cheers.
