The problem you have with the SelectedValue is not converting into integer  This is the main problem so usinge the following code snippet will help you   int selectedValue  bool parseOK   Int32 TryParse cmb SelectedValue ToString    out selectedValue

You have to cast the selected item to your custom class  ComboboxItem  Try this   private void comboBox1 SelectedIndexChanged object sender  EventArgs e    ComboBox cmb    ComboBox sender              int selectedIndex   cmb SelectedIndex              string selectedText   this comboBox1 Text              string selectedValue     ComboboxItem cmb SelectedItem  Value ToString     ComboboxItem selectedCar    ComboboxItem cmb SelectedItem  MessageBox Show String Format  Index    0   CarName  1   Value  2    selectedIndex  selectedCar Text  selecteVal

You are getting NullReferenceExeption because of you are using the cmb SelectedValue which is null  the comboBox doesn t know what is the value of your custom class ComboboxItem  so either do   ComboboxItem selectedCar    ComboboxItem comboBox2 SelectedItem  int selecteVal   Convert ToInt32 selectedCar Value     Or better of is use data binding like   ComboboxItem item1   new ComboboxItem    item1 Text    test   item1 Value    123    ComboboxItem item2   new ComboboxItem    item2 Text    test2   item2 Value    456    List lt ComboboxItem gt  items   new List lt ComboboxItem gt    item1  item2     this comboBox1 DisplayMember    Text   this comboBox1 ValueMember    Value   this comboBox1 DataSource   items
