ValueMember of the ComboBox - Getting the Value ?

[TerDavis]

Hey guys,

I set up my combobox properties
DisplayMember = "CodeValue"
ValueMember = "Code"...

and everything works great so I know they are using the
proper display and associated code values from the dataset.

The problem is - I want to access the actual 'value' that the ValueMember property is referencing.
So if the "Code" value is "REGULAR"...
Than what property of the combobox do I use to get the acutal value so I can do some additional testing ...
such as
if ( combobox.ValueMember = "REGULAR" )...
etc.
Currently, all i get is "Code" which is the column of the DS, so where does the combobox store the value ??

thanks,
-ter

The SelectedValue property will give you the value of the member property specified in the ValueMember property.
