Okay, I've seen all the examples of using comboboxes on webforms when
using simple values. And in the issue-tracker starterkit there is a way
to use comboboxes with id/value foreign keys in a smart (but hard!)
way.
I think every developer needs bound comboboxes to store foreign
keyvalues while displaying the user-friendly value as it is stored in
the foreign table, so there must be plenty of you that have found a way
to do so...
In a windows form databinding the combo together with using the
DataTextField and DataValueField works. Still not very easy I think but
ok...
Now in a webform I cannot manage to make this work. Still don't know
for sure if this is the easyest way. Found a number of examples on the
Net, but most of the time I think they use too much code. I just need a
simple (quickanddirty way if you want...) to use a bound combo with a
foreign key in it... I did not look to VisualStudio2005 yet, but there
must be a way it can be done in 2003 as well I suppose?
I've had enough of searching for the ultimate example, so please help
if you can.
