Why isn't there "Item" property for combobox or listbox in C#?

[kimiraikkonen]

Hi,
Just noticed that you're allowed to use combobox1.items.item property
in VB.NET but NOT in C#...
Intellisense doesn't show "item" property and build is failed.

Is there a specific reason for that or is it a mistake?
(Using VC# 2005 express + .NET 2.0)

Thanks,

Try using the indexer [] instead, e.g.

MessageBox.Show("Third value is " +
comboBox1.Items[2].ToString());

Hi

There is indexer to access the item in C# - Combobox1.Items[1] (equals ComboBox1.Items.Item(1)
of VB)

Thanks for the tips, but just wondering the reason: Is entity of
indexer the reason of absense of "item"?

Thanks,

Correct. C# tends to be somewhat more "compact" and elegant than VB.NET

Onur,

Simple because item is a default property

In my idea a very prepossessed statement. You have that too about white and
black people?

Thanks, but i think the full reverse of your statement. In my idea,
VB.NET is much more flexible and developer-friendly than C#.

Just my opinion

And you are indeed entitled to your incorrect opinion.
