Mav this a good e.g of what I want to do label1.Text = combobox.SelectedItme. and if I do that, there's errors Chindiwo Programmer -----

[hooray]

in this case just use: label1.Text = combobox.SelectedText;

[mav northwind]

That's simple: label1.Text is of type string, combobox.SelectedItem is of type object, that's what the error most likely tells you. Reading (and understanding!) the errors you get is the key to successful programming. Convert the object to string by using ToString() for example. Try:

if (combobox.SelectedItem != null)
label1.Text = combobox.SelectedItem.ToString();
