Combo Help

Hi,

Does anyone have an example code snippet from a Windows App that loads a
field from a strongly typed DataSet into a Combobox? Even dissecting the
DataSet via the Immediate Pane I still can't work out what part of the
DataSet I need to load.

Thanks very much.

Maybe code like this will work for you.

// Attach dataset.DataTable's DefaultView to the
combobox
comboBox1.DataSource =
dataSet.Tables["customers"].DefaultView;
comboBox1.DisplayMember = "CustomerID";

You should have fields listed in the code-behind for your strongly typed
dataset.

If you are using data binding, you can bind the ValueMember and
DisplayMember to the appropriate fields. For example, for a Customers
dataset, I might set them like this:

CustomersDataSet dataSource = new CustomersDataSet();
CustomersTableAdapter adapter = new CustomersTableAdapter();
adapter.Fill(dataSource);
myCombo.DataSource = dataSource.Customers;
myCombo.DisplayMember = "CompanyName";
myCombo.ValueMember = "CustomerID"

Is that what you mean, or do you want to literally load them?

Thanks - I've worked out how to do this - I didn't want to bind them directly
- I go through the list adding them as I need to but thanks for replying.
