String Formatting C#
<p>I have a drop down control and the items look like this</p>

<pre><code>Books(10)
Glasses(230)
Notebooks(27)
</code></pre>

<p>so basically i am grabbing the SelectedItem.Text; but I want to grab only the value before the amount in stock so when I grab it from SelectedItem.Text; it should look like this</p>

<pre><code>string myString = (some code to get just the name without the stock i.e Books);
</code></pre>

<p>Thank you</p>
