depending on which db you use:

i suppose you have your combobobox populate with the personnames out of your DB

  • get the name of the person by:

    string personsname= combobox1.selectedValue;

  • Get the id of this person by a query (sql: select idPerson from Persons where name = personsname;)

You probably need the "SelectedValue" property of your combobox control.
