I m facing problem to get value of combobox which is bound from database

 `String stri = "Select [Interest] from tbl_Interests";
            SqlCommand command = new SqlCommand(stri, con);
            SqlDataAdapter da = new SqlDataAdapter(command);
            DataSet ds = new DataSet();
            da.Fill(ds,"tbl_Interests");
            cmbTypeofList.DataSource = ds.Tables["tbl_Interests"];
            cmbTypeofList.ValueMember = "Interest";`

calling it
string intr = cmbTypeofList.SelectedItem.ToString();
string intr = cmbTypeofList.SelectedValue.ToString();
in the both above conditions i m getting the selected value as System.Data.DataRowView

string intr = cmbTypeofList.SelectedText;
