combobox.datasource question

[udikantz]

hello and thanks for reading this: im having problems in getting the selected item(the text) from a combobox when using the .datasource property. i got something like this: this.comboBox_add_to_group.DataSource = sku_ds.Tables[0]; this.comboBox_add_to_group.ValueMember = "SKU"; this.comboBox_add_to_group.DisplayMember = "SKU"; and im trying to make an event that any time the user changes the selected item within the combobox i would print to the console THE TEXT of the selected item. but evrything i did return stuff like "system.data.....()" so my question is is there a formal way to get the string that i see in the combobox when using the .datasource property , if so , how is it done? thanks

Hello... Try this one..... private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e) { DataSet ds = GetDataSet(); comboBox1.DataSource = ds.Tables[0]; comboBox1.ValueMember = ds.Tables[0].Columns["empName"].ToString(); comboBox1.DisplayMember = ds.Tables[0].Columns["empID"].ToString(); } private DataSet GetDataSet() { SqlConnection conn = new SqlConnection(@"Data Source = PC6; Initial Catalog = Test; User Id = diipluser6; Password = willy007"); SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand("Select * From tblEmp", conn); SqlDataAdapter adt = new SqlDataAdapter(cmd); DataSet ds = new DataSet(); adt.Fill(ds); conn.Open(); conn.Close(); return ds; } private void comboBox1_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs e) { textBox1.Text = comboBox1.SelectedValue.ToString(); //MessageBox.Show(comboBox1.SelectedValue.ToString()); }
