How to get selected ID from combobox

[Anders j]

Hi

I have a Dropdown field connected to a Group with two attributes
representing ID and Text.

Now. How do i get the selected ID. When i get the Value on the node i get
the Text but not the ID. I am talking about codebehind Infopath 2007 c#.

Any ideas?

You can get only value from the drop down field. You can set either
ID or Text.

Specify the desired field in the "Value" portion of the drop down List
Box Properties window. You can set different sibling node for
"Display Name"

Hi RP,

Please help me achieve this. Thanks in Advance.

I have a dropdownlistbox with 4 Items, which are entered manually like

Value DisplayName

0 Patient

Lets say user selects Nurse, I want to send Nurse to the database and
not 1 but when I use the code

mainNav1.SelectSingleNode("/dfs:myFields/my:ComboReason",
NamespaceManager).Value it returns 1 but I want to get the actual
DisplayName, how can I do it plz let me know ASAP.

Thanks very much guys
