Tag Property ComboBox

[truezplaya]

Hi All

I have another Problem. I am trying to retrieve an object from my combo box through the tag property but it's not having any of it. I populate my setOfCars as a collection like so

 foreach (Car car in DBcars)
                {
                    car.Tag = car ;
                    SetOfCars.Add(car);
                }
 

This collection is then returned and used to populate a comboBox

foreach (Car car in SetOfCars)
            {
 
                cb_Car.Items.Add(car.Tag);
            }
 

I have a override of ToString() in my class Car.

I then want to grab the selected item in the comboBox as an object. Everything that i have tried is failing miserably. Could anyone suggest how i would go about obtaining the object from the comboBox.

I have found a solution but i am not sure why the..

Car.Tag

doesn't do the same thing as i set the items Tag property to the Object

I'm not sure I follow the reasoning here. Maybe because so little of the total project is here.

You are setting the tag of a car equal to the car itself. I'm not sure why this extra step. I would think if you can add car.Tag which is an object, then you could just add 'car' which is an object.

foreach (Car car in DBcars)
                {
                    cb_Car.Items.Add(car);
                }

I do something just like this for plugins in a listbox. I'm fairly certain that a combox can take an object just like a listbox can.
