getting row data from bindingsource bound to listbox

Question

I have a listbox like so:

list.DataSource = bindingSource;
list.DisplayMember = "column_name";

Later I would want to get the selected item's ID from the DataSet with bindingSource.Current. I've done this before with bindingNavigator and bindingSource, where Current returns a DataRowView, so I can cast it and I'm done:

Int32.Parse(((DataRowView)bindingSource.Current)["id"].ToString())

But in this case Current returns a DataViewManagerListItemTypeDescriptor object, and I can't cast it.

Any thoughts will be appreciated!

list.SelectedItem should contain the selected row's DataRowView. Then you can:

var row = (MyRowType)((DataRowView)list.SelectedItem).Row;

I tried: ((DataRowView)szakList.SelectedItem).Row["id"] and I still get the error that I can't cast from DataViewManagerListItemTypeDescriptor. Am i doing something wrong?:\
