URGENT HELP REQUIRED FROM GURUS
Hi,
I have a custom object that implements ICollection and IListSource. This
object has also an enumerator defined for it which implements IEnumerator
and IList. Now, I'm trying to bind object to a combo box. The bidning
happens correctly, but I'm unable to set the DisplayMember property of the
combo box (the count of items in the combo box gives me the correct value,
but no items are displayed in the combo box).
This is what I do.
My custom Class defenition
public class CustomCollectio n : ICollection, IListSource
{
...
...
/// <summary>
/// Returns an IList used for Data Binding
/// </summary>
/// <returns>ILis t</returns>
IList IListSource.Get List()
{
return(this.Get List());
}
/// <summary>
/// Returns an IList used for Data Binding
/// </summary>
/// <returns>Custom Enumerator</returns>
public CustomEnumerato r GetList()
{
return(new CustomEnumerato r(this, this.dataTable. DefaultView));
}
public class CustomEnumerato r : IEnumerator, IList
{
...
...
}
}
This CustomCollectio n is a collection of customobjects (the enumerator
returns a custom object).
Now, in my windows form, I have the following code
CustomCollectio n custom = new CustomCollectio n();
custom.Fill(); // This fills the values
this.comboBox1. DataSource = custom;
this.comboBox1. DisplayMember = "Name"; //The field property of the object
that I want to be displayed
this.ComboBox1. ValueMember = "ID";
When the above code is executed, the combobox loads 10 entries (correct
value) but nothing is shown in the combobox (I guess because the DisplayName
property is not resolved correctly). How do I set the display name property
in this case? For example, if I do the following
MessageBox.Show (((customobject )comboBox1.Item[0]).Name) - gives me the value
of the Name property of the first "customobje ct" object in the combo box.
How do I set the DisplayName property of the combobox to this "Name"
property?
The strangest thing - if I set the Sorted property of the combo box to
"true", then the binding work fine!!! But the problem is that only the text
items are sorted and the associated value members are not sorted, so
everything gets messed up and I cannot rely on the SelectedValue property
anymore.
The same scenerio works perfectly in ASP.NET - if I bind my custom object to
a DropDownList webcontrol, and set the DataTextField property to "Name", it
works fine.
Thanks,

I am trying to create a form using databinding to a dataset and one of the
fields requires the user to select from a list of optons. Any hints on how
to do this other than bind the field to a label or text box to display the
current field value then add a combo box with the list of items to chose from?
