C# - Adding values to combo box items.

[hollywood115]

Hey guys. I have a quick question... its very simple but i cant find a way to do it..
I need to add items to a combobox in a windows form... i need to have a name, and a value to go with it so they're associated with one another.
whats the easiest way i can do this? i thought of creating a new class to handle it, but im sure c# has a way of doing that already....

thanks for your help.

Hi ! I have assume that u want to assign roll no to name of student which are
store in combo-box whenever user select name of student. Write following code
to do this.

First declare int[] j; in class defination of form.

then write following coding in page load event of form.
j = new int[comboBox1.Items.Count];
for (int i = 0; i < j.Length; i++)
{
j[i] = 0;
}

Write down following coding in selected index changed event of combo-box.

int id = comboBox1.SelectedIndex;
if (id == 0 && j[id]==0)
{
comboBox1.Items.Insert(id, comboBox1.SelectedItem + "-001");
comboBox1.Items.RemoveAt(++id);
j[--id] = 1;
}
else if (id == 1 && j[id] == 0)
{
comboBox1.Items.Insert(id, comboBox1.SelectedItem + "-002");
comboBox1.Items.RemoveAt(++id);
j[--id] = 1;
}

Note: I have written else if block for first two items of combo-box. Now when u select these items from combo-box then number is associated with name.
Make appropriate changes as per your requirement.

Bye...Enjoy Coding
