What did you try? It would be quicker to try and do it than asking...

What is "CamPort"? :-) First of all, tag the UI library you use. Forms? WPF? ASP.NET? Silverlight? something else?

Solution 1

From your code it looks like what you really want is to parse the selected value like so:

C#

CamPort.BaudRate = int.Parse(BaudRate.Text);

If you wanted to use the selected index as your title suggests then you would just use it:

C#

CamPort.BaudRate = BaudRate.SelectedIndex

...But then your value would only be 0,1,2,etc
