How to get textbox by name?

What is the correct code for selecting an item from the combobox to display in textbox for Visual Studio 2005?

• I know it is a "Select case" code. I want to select something in a combobox and the information would show up in the textbox. I used it in VB6 I can not get it to work in Visual Studio 2005. Is this code below correct because it does not work: Select Case DirectCast(sender, ComboBox).Name Case "Paul" TextBox4.Text = ("Paul Selected") Case "John" TextBox4.Text = ("John Selected") Case "Luke" TextBox4.Text = ("Luke Selected") End Select

• Answer:

  This will work, Select Case DirectCast(sender, _ comboBox).SelectedItem.ToString notice that ".SelectedItem.ToString" has been added to the the code that you have written will return the name assigned to the combox control: i.e. ComboBox1 the code above will return the value of what you have selected. I'd change youre code to do this as well: text4.text = "" ' clear the previous text dim cb as string cb = DirectCast(sender, ComboBox).SelectedItem.ToString TextBox4.Text = cb & " Selected" this will add the value of whatever you select to the textbox. Since the value entered only differs by name you dont need to use a select case statement Hope this helps
