WPF - How to add combobox selected value to database

tblProd p = new tblProd();
p.categoryname=cb_category.SelectedValue.ToString();

I get the string as "Demo.tbl_category" I get the name of the table as string instead of a category name. I have two properties in my category model category name and description. I have bound the combobox source to observablecollection of category and I have categoryname as the displaymemberpath in combobox.

plz help me.thanks in advance.

I m using linq .

Solution

  • You are getting an instance of the object and its ToString.

    SelectedValue contains an instance of the object tbl_category

    Try changing to.

    p.categoryname=((tbl_category)cb_category.SelectedValue).categoryname;

    or

    p.categoryname=cb_category.SelectedValue.categoryname;
