How do I get the value in the first column of a combo box?

cboRails.DataSource = ds1.Tables[1];
cboRails.DisplayMember = "Description";


The combo box shows the "Description" column of my table. When the user
selects from the combo box I want to grab the key. I tried cboRails.text but
I get the value in the description, I want the value of the key, which is in
column 1.
 
You could set the ValueMember property of the ComboBox to the name of the
key column and then use the SelectedValue property to get the value.
 
Hi Cadel,

Does "Tim Wilson"'s reply make sense to you? Is your problem resolved?
Please feel free to feedback. Thanks
