how to get selected dataRow from combobox
18,166
I am assuming you used data binding to populate the combo box. In that case use the SelectedItem property of combo box. It will probably contain a DataRowView, so you can use code like this.
DataRowView vrow = (DataRowView)cboItems.SelectedItem;
DataRow row = vrow.Row;

I have a combobox which is bound to a dataset. I'm trying to get the DataRow the text of the combobox represents, but I can't find it. I've tried the following:
private void cboItems_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs e) { DataTable flexoItems = (cboItems.DataSource as DataTable); DataRow row = flexoItems.Rows.Find(cboItems.Text); //DataView view = new DataView(flexoItems); //DataRow row = flexoItems.Rows[view.Find(cboItems.Text)]; lblItemDesc.Text = row["Description"].ToString(); lblTotalQty.Text = row["QtyOnHand"].ToString(); }
I feel like I'm just missing this. How can I get the other values from the row of a combobox selection?
