Use sselected index instead?

Well, generally speaking they are not the same.

Not entirely sure I follow here...

SelectedIndex returns the index value of the item. If, for instance, you have {"5","7","12"} in the list, then the index value is never equal to item content (converted to int, of course).

Ah yes, but I wasnt really sure about what he wanted, the selected index or the value, he seemed a bit confused... I dont really think he has got an integer value by his comments, but then he needs to clearify the question then :-)

Is selected item a string?

You cannot convert "Joe Bloggs" to an integer.
What are you actually typing to achieve?

Solution 2

See "Int32.Parse Method"[^] and "Int32.TryParse Method"[^]. Both of them allow you to convert the string to an int.
