You must create your own class type and override the ToString() method to return the text you want. Here is a simple example of a class you can use: public class ComboboxItem { public string Text { get ; set ; } public object Value { get ; set ; } public override string ToString() { return Text; } } The following is a simple example of its usage: private void Test() { ComboboxItem item = new ComboboxItem(); item.Text = Item text1 ; item.Value = 12; comboBox1.Items.Add(item); comboBox1.SelectedIndex = 0; MessageBox.Show((comboBox1.SelectedItem as ComboboxItem).Value.ToString()); }
