More help with the ComboBox

[laroberts]

Ok this code works great for importing cobobox options from a text file.....

Dim myStream As New IO.StreamReader("file path")

Dim fileLines As New ArrayList

 

While myStream.Peek <> -1

fileLines.Add(myStream.ReadLine())

End While

 

myStream.Close()

Me.ComboBox1.DataSource = fileLines

 

 

But....

 

 

I have a button on that form that says find job. When the user presses this button it needs to load a text file depending on what the option was they choose from the drop down list. Now I know how to do this if the list is hard coded. You just do if and elseif commands... but I do not know how to code it for something like this where the drop down list can change all the time. Any code examples?

 

Thanks

Are you looking for the SelectedItem property of the ComboBox?
