[hhak]

Hi all,
Im pretty new to C#, im trying to assign a combobox selected value to a int variable.

int number;

combobox has items added (1,2,3,4,...9)

when i select a number from the combobox i want to assign this number to my integer variable.

thanks in advance.

cheers,

at the moment i can do it by

if (comboBox.Items[comboBox.SelectedIndex].ToString() == "1")
{
number = 1;
}
else if (comboBox.Items[comboBox.SelectedIndex].ToString() == "2")
{
number = 2;
}
....but this is a little long

HI,
you can simply assign the value directly to the variable:

number = (int)comboBox.Items[comboBox.SelectedIndex].ToString()

I would say try more like this if you need to.

number = int.Parse(comboBox.Items[comboBox.SelectedIndex].ToString());
