populate comboBox from Database

[Jassim Rahma]

Hi,

what is the best way to populate comboBox from database.. the reason I
am asking is that i have more than 8 comboBoxes in one form and each
should retrieve data from a table and I don't want that to slow the form
show.

can you please submit a sample code...
Many Thanks,
Jassim Rahma

Hi,

You can show the form, but disable the combos. After that, launch an async
delegate populating the combos, and enable them once the data are ready.
