combo datasource

Hi

I have a combobox binded to a Datatable
something like

combo.DataSourc e = dt.DefaultView;
combo.DisplayMe mber = "descField" ;
combo.ValueMemb er = "valueField ";

it works fine.
Now if I update the datatable I want the combo to reflect those changes.

I'm trying to rebind the combo doing the same 3 lines but it doesn't work,
(the second time the is run then it does the 1st update)

Any help?
thanks

Maybe try AcceptChanges() ? Or save the changes to the database. I
think that as long as your changes are not accepted that you won't see
them. But i'm not sure of this.

I am encountering a problem with the combo box. This only happens when using the datasource property, I create a table with the following values (a, b, c, d). Step 1. Select the "c" value from the drop down list by typing "c" into the combo box. Then click off from the combo to say a button. Have the button populate a text box with the combo boxes text property. Result = "a" Step 2. Repeat step 1, but type in "b" this time.

I'm observing some strange behavior when I use a bound combo box in conjunction with the combo's anchor property. I define a form which contains just a textbox and a combo box. The text box is placed before the combo in taborder, and is there only so the focus will go someplace other than the combo box when the form is displayed. In the form load event, I have the following code to create an arraylist and bind the combo to it: Dim a As...

I have created a form which sets up a dataview. The form views one record at a time using a currencymanager. This works fine. All my text boxes bind. However I have a combo box which gets its lookup values from another (Advertising) table (AdvertisingID, Advertising). This works .. However, where it doesn't work as well is when the form loads, the combo boxes should bind to the AdvertisingID field and display the respective data.

Hi all, Could you tell me the best way to add a blank item(as first item) in a data binded combo box? Because I think I didn't do it right and it generate an error if the second item(after the top blank item) is selected by using Combo.SelectedValue : "Specified argument was out of the range of valid values. Parameter name: '-2147483648' is not a valid value for 'index'.

I have created a sub routine to programmatically add an indefinite number of combo boxes to a form. The combo boxes are bound in code to a view for displaying the available options. This routine works good until you add the second combo box. At that point it changes the first combo box's selected item. A third changes the second and first and so on. I've tried setting the combo box name and tag to a unique name, but that doesn't help. ...

I have a form which is bound to a dataset. I am filling the forms dataset on Form_Load event. On my form I have combo boxes which I am setting by running a stored procedure to return a datatable, which I then assign to the datasource. Some of my combo box datasources depend on values in other fields to limit the options. For example, I have a sales rep list that is limited by the customer selected in the customers combo box.

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
