Getting combobox selected item

[megdan]

Im a student working on an application in c#. In the firstpage of my application a user selects an item eg 'Room1' from combobox which is databinded to a database, i want the same selected item to display in a label on another form in the application. (ie i also want 'Room1' to display in a label on another form).

Please it is urgent.

Thanks for your help.

Hi,
In the second form create a constructor that takes a string as a parameter. There, after InitializeComponent method, assign your string to the label. For example:

public Form2(string selectedValue) 
        {
            InitializeComponent();
            label1.Text = selectedValue;
        }

You can get your selected item and display another form in the following way:

new Form2(comboBox1.SelectedItem.ToString()).Show();

comboBox1 is a combobox from which you want to take selected value.
