I am trying to get combobox valuemember value into a string, when drawing items in a combobox.

To get the displaymember, I can use below code:

string displayMemberText = ((ComboBox)sender).GetItemText(((ComboBox)sender).Items[e.Index]);

But how can I do the same, if I want to get the valuemember into a string?

I want to use the value, to compare valuemember with another string.

What I have tried:

I have tried everything, but can't figure out how to replace "GetItemText" with "GetItemID".
