I have a drop down list box in which the underlying value is a numeric ID# but the display value is a text string. I am using code to access the selection in the drop down list box as follows:

myVar = XDocument.DOM.selectSingleNode("//my:myFields/@my:dataFilter").text

This returns the numeric value however and I cant figure out how to capture the displayed text string. If anyone has a solution, please let me know!!!

You need to go back to the original source that the drop-down list is populated from. Then you filter that list based on the value of the field to which the drop-down is bound (@my:dataFilter) and grab the display name from that filtered list.
