Hi Giulio,
That's very strange, but I guess you have a workaround. I have only used
SelectedItem myself and that always seems to return the correct type
(ListItem in your case)

Hi,
I've put the comboBox1.Selec tedValue in an object variable
and in debug time, I've watch its type.
The application enter in the SelectedIndexCh anged two
times before I got the control.
Thoose two times the type of comboBox1.Selec tedValue is
ListItem. So is the entire class not just the
ValoriNascosti UDT.
The other times the type of comboBox1.Selec tedValue is
ValoriNascosti.
I've generate a piece of code that handle a cast invalid
exception and retrieve the value I need via accessor for
the first two time, and via the public value for the other
times.
Like this:
try
{
this.textBox1.T ext = ((ListItem)
this.comboBox1. SelectedValue). AccessorValoriN ascosti.moduli
..ToString();
this.textBox2.T ext = ((ListItem)
this.comboBox1. SelectedValue). AccessorValoriN ascosti.codice
Arte;
}
catch(InvalidCa stException)
{
this.textBox1.T ext = ((ValoriNascost i)
this.comboBox1. SelectedValue). moduli.ToString ();
this.textBox2.T ext = ((ValoriNascost i)
this.comboBox1. SelectedValue). codiceArte;
}
catch
{
MessageBox.Show ("Eccezione non gestita!");
}
Then it works. I've got what I need, but I still do not
understand why of the first two calls at
SelectedIndexCh anged. And why the type is ListItem just
the first two times. I've add five values at the ArrayList.
I put there the declaration of ListItem.
It will be bad formatted I hope a cut and past will make
it back as I've got it in Visual Studio.

Hi Giulio,
What you have shown us looks correct to me, but there
must be somethingwrong somewhere. Have you tried just setting
this.comboBox1. SelectedValueinto an object variable and looking at its actual type in
the debugger. Ifthat doesn't help then could you show us some more code
such as thedeclarations of ListItem and ValoriNascosti.

<gi************ *************** ***@yahoo.it> wrote inmessage news:07******** *************** *****@phx.gbl.. . Hi,
I've got a little problem with my C# WinForms test
application.
I would like to have a ComboBox showing a a visual value
and some hidden values.
So I build a class able to store thoose values. This
class called ListItem have got two private variable, one is a
string containing the visual value, the
other one is a UDT variable. It is a struct called
ValoriNascosti containing two variables a string and an
int.
The costructor of ListItem store the three values
(description, and the two of ValoriNascosti) . There is
two accessor methods that retrieve: the string of th
description; and another one retrieve a variable of type
ValoriNascosti.
I create an ArrayList of ListItem in this way:
ArrayList elencoProdotti = new ArrayList();
elencoProdotti. Add(new ListItem("0001" ,
5, "Prodotto1" ));
I populate the combo with the ArrayList:
this.comboBox1. DataSource = elencoProdotti;
Than I tell to the combo that the member to display is
accessible from the method Descrizione:
comboBox1.Displ ayMember = "Descrizion e";
And the hidden value is accessible from the method
AccessorValoriN ascosti:
comboBox1.Value Member = "AccessorValori Nascosti" ;
Thoose two are the accessors I was talking about.
When I run this I've got my dear combo with the visual
data I've choose (like Prodotto1, Prodotto2, Prodotto3
etc...).
So I add code in the event SelectedIndexCh anged, trying
to show the hidden values when the combobox element
changes. So I do this:
this.textBox1.T ext = ((ValoriNascost i)
this.comboBox1. SelectedValue). moduli.ToString ();
but I've got an invalid cast exception.
This line give the same error:
ValoriNascosti supporto = (ValoriNascosti )
this.comboBox1. SelectedValue;
The value stored should be of valoriNascosti type...
isn't right this way of casting?
I really don't have clues. :-\
Thanks for help.
Giulio
