I am working on WPF application. I have a window which has “Combobox” and “Textboxes”. Well, I want to display the selected combobox values in textbox. (Combo Box displays the concatenated string firstname+lastname+initials). But I have two text box for firstname & second name. I want to display only “firstname” in first text box and “last name” in second text box.
I wrote the below code. IT displays the values but concatenated. IS there any way I can just display first name in first text box and last name in second text box.
Thanks.

    Since SelectedItem is an Object you get the full Type prefacing your data when you use the ToString Method. I was able to get the result you were looking for by using String.Split. See if this works for you.

    Dim delineators() As Char = {":", ",", "{", "}"}
Dim substrings() As String = SysEngnrCB.SelectedItem.ToString.Split(delineators)
FNSysEngnrTextBox.Text = substrings(1)
LNSysEngnrTextBox.Text = substrings(2)
