The example below demonstrates how to get values stored in a hidden column of the Combo Box control on the client:

Default.aspx

<dx:ASPxComboBox ID="ASPxComboBox1" ClientInstanceName="cbox" ValueField="ProductID" DropDownStyle="DropDownList"
    OnCustomJSProperties="ASPxComboBox1_CustomJSProperties" DataSourceID="SqlDataSource1" runat="server" Width="300"> 
    <Columns>
        <dx:ListBoxColumn FieldName="ProductID" />
        <dx:ListBoxColumn FieldName="ProductName" />
        <dx:ListBoxColumn FieldName="CategoryID" />
        <dx:ListBoxColumn FieldName="UnitPrice" Visible="false" />
    </Columns>
</dx:ASPxComboBox>
<dx:ASPxButton ID="ASPxButton1" runat="server" Text="UnitPrice value" AutoPostBack="false">
    <ClientSideEvents Click="function(s, e) {
        var v = cbox.cpHiddenColumnValues[cbox.GetSelectedIndex()];
        alert(v);
        }" />
</dx:ASPxButton>

Default.aspx.cs

protected void ASPxComboBox1_CustomJSProperties(object sender, DevExpress.Web.CustomJSPropertiesEventArgs e)
{
    ArrayList list = new ArrayList();
    foreach (ListEditItem item in ASPxComboBox1.Items)
        list.Add(item.GetFieldValue("UnitPrice"));
    e.Properties["cpHiddenColumnValues"] = list;
}

Default.aspx.vb

Protected Sub ASPxComboBox1_CustomJSProperties(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As DevExpress.Web.CustomJSPropertiesEventArgs)
    Dim list As New ArrayList()
    For Each item As ListEditItem In ASPxComboBox1.Items
        list.Add(item.GetFieldValue("UnitPrice"))
    Next item
    e.Properties("cpHiddenColumnValues") = list
End Sub
