TabControl and ComboBoxes C#

[dschu012]

I am trying to read in information from a file and set certain ComboBox's initial value according to what was read in. I am using
combobox.SelectedValue = (value read in)
and all is fine and dandy. However I want to put this combo box inside the second Tab on my application, when I do that it will not set the ComboBox's SelectedValue. Why will it do it in the first tab and not in the second? Anyone know ways around this or what I might be doing wrong?

public void populateBox(ComboBox cb, dataType[] source, int offset)
        {
 
            cb.DataBindings.Clear();
            cb.DataSource = source;
            cb.DisplayMember = "name";
            cb.ValueMember = "enumVal";
            cb.DataBindings.Add("SelectedValue", source, "name");
            cb.SelectedValue = HexToAscii(buffer, offset, 1); //I know that it works because it works on the first tab
        }
 

This is my first C# program so it might be messy. However there is alot of combo boxes I would be using in this program so I wrote this little function. When the combo box is on the first tab it has no problem changing the selectedvalue. However it is on the second tab it does. Also I noticed if I make a combobox on the 2nd tab with the same DataSource and change that it will update the box on the first tab. It will only do it vica versa if I have navigated to the 2nd tab once.

Hello

better once you check the name of the combobox in the second TAB ,you cannot use the same common function for different combo boxes with different names

i think you are using the same name in the code .

just check it out.

Why can't I use a function to set the combo boxes? I send each seperate combo box to the function... You don't type in very good english so the rest is kind of confusing to me... Some more code but I don't know what good it will do...

populateBox(combobox1, data1, 280);
populateBox(combobox2, data2, 282);

combobox1 which is in my first page of my tab control gets set. However combobox2 in my 2nd page of my tab control doesn't get set. If I move the combobox2 to my first page it will get set. Why is this?

Sorry for posting twice it was an accident. I couldn't find my original post and I thought it got deleted or something....
