ComboBox.SelectedText doesn't give me the SelectedText

I am building a String and the code looks like

String status = "The status of my combobox is " + comboBoxTest.SelectedText

I am using WinForm in VS2010

The result looks like

"The status of my combobox is "

Solution

  • I think you want to use

    String status = "The status of my combobox is " + comboBoxTest.Text

    SelectedText property from MSDN

    Gets or sets the text that is selected in the editable portion of a ComboBox.

    while Text property from MSDN
