Question

Im retriving data from a database displayed on a dropdownlist. The dropdown display the streetname along with the number of the house. An example from my data is: “Streetname 44”. Now when the data isretrived and displayed on the dropdown, I want to save the data into another table in the database, but this time i want the “Streetname” to be on the “street-column” and the “44” stored in the “number-column”.
Im using LINQ to store my data and so far I have this:

         using (DB_Entities tt = new DB_Entities())
        {
            Address va = new Address();
            va.Street = ListItemStreet.SelectedItem; // I only want the Strings from the itemlist
            va.HouseNo = ListItemStreet.SelectedItem; // I only want the number from the itemlist

            tt.ValidateAddress.AddObject(va);
            tt.SaveChanges();

            if (tt != null)
            {
                AddError.Text = "Saved!";
            }
            else
            {
                AddError.Text = "Error";
            }
    }

EDIT: It’s not a textbox but a Itemlist were the street is retrieved

You can parse like this:

string address = "Streetname 44";

var index = address.LastIndexOf(' ');

var houseNo = address.Substring(index + 1);
var streetName = address.Remove(index);
