<div>
if(comboBox1.SelectedIndex<wbr /> != -1)<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; access comboBox1.SelectedItem (which is the array element if you used databinding)
</div>


if(comboBox1.SelectedIndex != -1)
    access comboBox1.SelectedItem (which is the array element if you used databinding)

<div>
o yeah also your code will crash most likely since it will only ever try to access the array at element[-1]

<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I created an array (using ArrayList()) called load when my form loads. I use the array as values for my combobox.<br />
I am trying to use this array to assign a value to a text box when the combobox value is selected using the following code.<br />
<br />
public void comboBox1_SelectedValueCha<wbr />nged(objec<wbr />t sender, System.EventArgs e)<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;{<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;<br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;if(comboBox1.SelectedIndex<wbr /> != -1)<br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;Console.WriteLine(comboBox<wbr />1.Selected<wbr />Value.ToSt<wbr />ring());<br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;else<br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;label2.Text=load[comboBox1<wbr />.SelectedI<wbr />ndex].ToSt<wbr />ring();<br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;}<br />
<br />
My problem is I am from the old school and can't make my array Public. What would be a work around for this? Can someone shed some light on the theory why its like this?

Problem using an array.

C# is an object-oriented programming language created in conjunction with Microsoft’s .NET framework. Compilation is usually done into the Microsoft Intermediate Language (MSIL), which is then JIT-compiled to native code (and cached) during execution in the Common Language Runtime (CLR).
