I declared a class with 4 string properties, one of which overrides the
"toString()" method.
I add objects based on this to a combobox, and I can see the properties if I
pause execution and look at the "SelectedItem" I can see my
properties/values in the debugger, but if I try it in the code I can only
see the Equals, GetHashCode, GetType and ToString methods.

How can I access the other properties I defined?

Ta,
James.

cast the SelectedItem back to your known type:

MyClass myObj = combo.SelectedItem as MyClass;
if(myObj!=null) {
// do something interesting
}

You need to typecast the SelectedItem value to your class:

((YourClassNameHere) comboBox.SelectedItem).YourPropertyHere

or

YourClassNameHere value = (YourClassNameHere) comboBox.SelectedItem;
// work with value

Thanks to both of you, working now!
