Hello Dear, Follow the following steps to get the desirable result.
1) Create a dataset with two column ID and Desc 2) now set the valuemember property of combo box with id and display member property with desc. i.e combobox1.Displaymember = "ID" ( case Sensitive) Combobox1.valuemember = "Desc" ( case Sensitive) These are the case sensitive if you fetch ID and assign 'id' to display member. then it will not give any result. 3) Combobox1.DataSource = Datasetname Now use combobox.selectedvalue property to fetch the id. Hope it will help you. Regards Vaibhav Goel Sr. Engineer.
