You are declaring you BoxCombo as a Control in your function, you should declare is as a listbox, or what ever the control really is in order to have access to its properties.

BoxCombo is of type Control, you will need to cast it to the appropriate control type or change the parameter in your function to accept the correct control.

Private Function FindLstValue(ByVal obj As ListBox, ByVal strFind As String, ByVal strField As String) As Integer
FindLstValue = -1
Dim intX As Integer = 0
For Each X As System.Data.DataRowView In obj.Items
If X.Item(strField).ToString = strFind Then
FindLstValue = intX
Exit For
End If
intX = intX + 1
Next
End Function



might have to change obj As ListBox to obj As combobox
