assign combobox value to iforeign key field

[p27br]

Hello

I am new to visual studio development and i am having trouble with
the following :
I have a form with a combobox :

            this.cboCivilite.DataSource = DataRepository.CiviliteProvider.GetAll();
            cboCivilite.DisplayMember = CiviliteColumn.Description.ToString();
            cboCivilite.ValueMember = CiviliteColumn.IdCivilite;

and I want that when the user selects a value in the combobox, the selected value will be saved in the database record field.

I tried this :

            part.IdCivilite = cboCivilite.SelectedValue;

but this property is an object and the id field is an int.

how should this be done ?

thanks

int myvalue = Convert.ToInt32(cboCivilite.SelectedValue.ToString());

part.IdCivilite = myvalue;
