How do I show the selected value of a combobox in a label c#?

I am trying to get the selected value of the Combo box and display that in a label. It is in a c# winForm. This is what i have now: 

private void AccountsCmboBx_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
        try
        {
            string accountName = AccountsCmboBx.SelectedValue.ToString();
            FromAddrLabel.Text = accountName;
        }
        catch(Exception Ex)
        {
            MessageBox.Show(Ex.Message);
        }

}

if the text is the value you want, try:

string accountName =  AccountsCmboBx.SelectedText;

string accountName = AccountsCmboBx.Text;

Will never have a NullReferenceException if there is no item selected.

Try to use SelectedItem:

   string accountName = AccountsCmboBx.SelectedItem.ToString();

Please see the difference in post ComboBox SelectedItem vs SelectedValue
