how to check if item is selected from a comboBox in C#
Use:
if(comboBox.SelectedIndex > -1) //somthing was selected
To get the selected item you do:
Item m = comboBox.Items[comboBox.SelectedIndex];
As Matthew correctly states, to get the selected item you could also do
Item m = comboBox.SelectedItem;
Here is the perfect coding which checks whether the Combo Box Item is Selected or not
if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(comboBox1.Text))
{
MessageBox.Show("No Item is Selected");
}
else
{
MessageBox.Show("Item Selected is:" + comboBox1.Text);
}
You seem to be using Windows Forms. Look at the SelectedIndex or SelectedItem properties.
if (this.combo1.SelectedItem == MY_OBJECT)
{
// do stuff
}
