Populating a Combo box using a SqlDataReader

[Neil Guyette]

Hello, Everyone,

I'm trying to find information on how to populate a combo
box using a SqlDataReader. I want to be able to set the
value of the combo's value property different then the
combo's text property (what the user will see). Is this
possible with a SqlDataReader?

Thanks

-Neil

Hi Neil,

Thanks for posting in the group!

SqlDataReader provides a means of reading a forward-only stream of rows
from a SQL Server database(similar to a cached read-only recordset).

populate a combo box using a SqlDataReader,

If you have a valid SqlDataReader, you can manually retrieve data from that
SqlDataReader to populate a combo box.(no automatic way)

The following is a VC++ SqlDataReader sample program link:

Mr. Chang,

Thanks for your reply.

I realized that the SqlDataReader is forward only, but
when coding an asp.net page and using a dropdownbox you
can bind it to a SqlDataReader. I found my solution last
night, instead of using a SqlDataReader I'm now using a
SqlDataAdapter. Using the SqlDataAdapter to fill a
DataSet object.

Once again thanks a lot.
