Text and Value properties for dropdownlist

I have dropdownList boxes that are bound to a function that populates them with different values for the text and value properties. But when an item is selected from the list, both the text and value properties are the same, Why? Below is a sample of the code

'************** *************** *************** *************** *************** ***********
'Load the Status Code Drop Down bo
'************** *************** *************** *************** *************** ***********
Private Sub LoadStatusCodeD ropDown(

drpStatusSel.Da taSource = GetStatusCodeLi st(
drpStatusSel.Da taBind(

End Su

'************** *************** *************** *************** *************** **************
'This function builds the items available for the Status dropdown boxe
'************** *************** *************** *************** *************** **************
Public Shared Function GetStatusCodeLi st() As ListItemCollect io

Dim mobjListBoxData As New ListItemCollect ion(

With mobjListBoxDat

.Add(New ListItem("Selec t one...", "None")

.Add(New ListItem("D - Deleted via Extract", "D")
.Add(New ListItem("E - Deleted via WEB", "E")
.Add(New ListItem("H - Hold", "E")
.Add(New ListItem("R - SoftAuto", "R")

End Wit

Return mobjListBoxDat

End Functio

I need the code to update the database when Save is clicked and a text field has changed. This should be very easy since I used Microsoft's wizards for the OleDBAdapter and OleDBConnection, and DataSet; and all I'm doing is showing one record in text fields, allowing the user to modify the text fields, and then updating the database again when the user clicks the Save button. The fields already show the correct data record since I have...

Hello - this started out as a minor annoyance - and now is starting to bother me more and more - I'm hoping someone can help me. I would like to have a combobox display - NOT initially be blank - but contain a value. However the value is just for user reference - not really one of the combobox choices. For example intially the combobox should equal the word Select - and the item values can be say 'one', 'two', and 'three'.

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
