Hi. I've struggling with the combobox databinding in C#. What I was trying
to do was:
- Hard code the items in the combobox's Items (collection) property. (ie.
'Mon', 'Tue', 'Wed', 'Thu', 'Fri')
- Then databind the combobox to a table in the dataset.
Since the table (in the dataset) contains just a tiny subset (1 to 5
records) of what is in the database, it might contain, for example,
the values 'Mon' and 'Thu' only.
Right now, when I databind the control to the dataset, I think, it clears
the hard coded items in the control and replace it with what in the table.
Can someone help.
Thanks,
Rick..

When you say databind here, I assume you mean .DataSource, not
..Bindings? i.e. you are binding the list and not the selected items? In
which case this is the expected behaviour - it only allows one data
source: *either* the internal list, *or* an external datasource.
You need to either add the extra items to the dataset, or add the
dataset items to the .Items, or add both sets to a List<Tand bind to
that instead. Or live with it.

Hi,
I am having a problem setting a combobox value in code on form load using

present the items collection. I also have tried using .SelectedItem method

I was databinding to a combobox and supplying both a DisplayMember and
a ValueMember,
so that each item.
Now I've decided against databinding, and will populate it by going
through a datatable.
What's the easy way to populate it so that each item has both a value
and a text?

I want to create a customized ComboBox where the methods ComboBox.Items.Add
and ComboBox.Items.Insert will behave thusly:
-- If the item is not present, add it.
-- If the item is present, set the selected index to the item (without
adding a duplicate).
I know the basics of inheriting from user controls, so if this was merely
overriding a method of ComboBox I could do it. But how does one go about
overriding a method of the Items...

I'm baffled by this -- is there not a typed object used for ComboBox Items?
Best I can tell, all of the methods for ComboBox that accept an Item are of
type Object. Why in the world is a common/standard .NET control accepting
an Object as a parameter type?
In Web Forms, there is a ListItem object that can be passed in to
add/retrieve objects from a DropDownItems collection. I searched Google
groups, and all the solutions I'm finding...

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
