If you have manually populated your drop-down list, then you probably can't do this (at least not in any useful and easy manner). If you are populating the drop-down list from a secondary data source, then you just grab the stored value (the ID), and you look up the display value in the secondary data source using the ID value you have.

Something like:

var disp = XDocument.GetDOM("2DS").selectSingleNode("/Root/Table/Row[@id = " + ID + "]/@display");

Getting both Value and Display text from combobox

Hello Everyone,

Just wondering if there is an easy way of doing the following. I have a combobox and it displays text but the underlying value is an ID value, now i also have a button beside the combox (the combox is in a master detail repeating table) and when i click on that button i want to get the value AND the display text that is showing from the combox. Right now all i can get is the value from the event args of the button click but nothing shows the value. Is there a simple way of getting to this? I am thinking if there isn't i need to do a lookup from the database based on the value of the combobox.

Thanks,

Erin
