Question

Am working on smartphone application. Here I have a combobox which loads when the value of another combo gets changed.

private void cmbTreatmentType_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
     MasterData lData = new MasterData();
     cmbTreatmentCategory.DataSource = lData.GetTreatmentCategories((int)cmbTreatmentType.SelectedValue);     
     cmbTreatmentCategory.DisplayMember = "Description";
     cmbTreatmentCategory.ValueMember = "ID";
}

When this form gets loaded

(int)cmbTreatmentType.SelectedValue

throws exception like

Cannot unbox '((System.Windows.Forms.ListControl)(this.cmbTreatmentType)).SelectedValue' as a 'int'

Provided that the DataSource of cmbTreatmentType is DataTable as syntex same above.

But if you check the value through Debuging it goes well and no exception.

Was it helpful?

Solution

The combo box SelectedValue cannot be unboxed to int. Please check what value are you trying to unbox: maybe null (as the data source is not set yet) ?
