I have a combobox with some values loaded from a database. I want to use a
barcode reader to select a value in the combobox. But as soon as it is
selected I want to fire an event. What event would be the most appropriate?

When you set the combobox to point to a different item, it will fire the
SelectedIndexChanged event. Or were you looking for something else?

But what happens when more than 1 of the same are scanned consecutively?
There would be no SelectedIndexChanged event firing.
