Question

Using C# & MySQL

When i select a particular value from the combobox then i clicked the button, the corresponding value should display in the other textbox

code

protected void Button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        cmd2 = new OdbcCommand("Select name from users where username = '" + combobox1.Text  + "' ", con);
        dr1 = cmd2.ExecuteReader();
        while (dr1.Read())
        {
            textbox1.Text = dr1.GetString(0);

        }
        dr1.Close();

    }

The Above Code is working, but nothing displaying in Textbox1, there is the problem only in the query, I changed the query like Select name from users where username = '005'
Output is displaying in the textbox1, but when i used combobox value it is not displaying.

I also tried:

combobox1.text, combobox1.selectedvalue, combobox1.selecteditem, combobox1.selectedindex

Combobox Filling Code

cmd2 = new OdbcCommand("Select username from users, con);
        ada2 = new OdbcDataAdapter(cmd2);
        ada2.Fill(data2);
        combobox1.DataValueField = "username";
        combobox1.DataSource = data2;

combobox1.DataBind();

Username values like 201, 202, 203….,

Why is the query executing while using the combobox value….

if you are using winform controls, please use below code

comboBox1.DataSource = list;
 comboBox1.ValueMember = "Name";

to get value from combobox use comboBox1.SelectedValue[It will return object type]
