WindowsForms - If combobox.selecteditem is.... then....

Question

Hi, I need help with IF in my code and tried almost everything that I found on youtube tutorials but nothing worked.
I want to code that way, when I choose from comboBox1 item1 (1+x) and apply it it will type /example 60, when I choose from combobox item2 (5+y) it will type /example 300

Here is code
private void NEXT_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{

        {
            if (comboBox1.SelectedItem) is "1+x";
            t = " 60";
            System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(TimeSpan.FromSeconds(5));
            SendKeys.Send("/timeout " + richTextBox1.Text + t);
            System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(TimeSpan.FromSeconds(3));
            SendKeys.Send("{ENTER}");
        }

        {
            if (comboBox1.SelectedItem) = "5+y";
            t = " 300";
        System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(TimeSpan.FromSeconds(5));
        SendKeys.Send("/timeout " + richTextBox1.Text + t);
        System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(TimeSpan.FromSeconds(3));
        SendKeys.Send("{ENTER}");
        }

    }

Answer 1

Syntax Error. Take a closer look at the code.

if (comboBox1.SelectedItem) is "1+x";  

==> if (comboBox1.SelectedItem is "1+x") {    
         // insert your code here...
       }

Hi, @IAKIL

Try to use equality operators: == instead of =.
