Hi,
in ASP .Net, I can associate a value with and item in a dropdown list, for
example when binding to a list of employees, I can store the employeeid as a
value associated with each name in in the list so I can use this later when
retrieving data from my database.
I am now trying to develop a Windows forms app (.Net 2.0) and can find how
to do this when using a combobox set to the dropdownlist style (assume this
is the control I should us). When adding items manually, I only get a list
of strings to add but nowhere to associate a value.
Can anyone please shed som light on how to do this in Windows forms ?
Thank you
Niclas

Hi Niclas,
You can actually add objects (instances of classes) to the combobox, not
just strings, and the ToString() method will be used to show a text for the
object. The ComboBox has properties to retrieve the selected object, that
you can cast back to your class and retrieve the full object.

Hi,
Can anyone help, I want to get a reference to a combobox item based on the
item's value rather than the text (basically what I am asking is, is there a
function like 'FindStringExact' for values) , does anyone know how to do
this?
Thanks,
Nicky

Essentially, InsertAT is broken!
For the past couple of hours, I've been getting this "Parameter name:
'-2147483550' is not a valid value for 'index'." error.
Apparently, its caused by having manually inserted a row in the table
bound to the Combo box. The InsertAt Method of adding a row just does
not work.
Hope this helps anyone with this problem.

I have a combobox that is very much like the one found in the RSS
project here:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/express/visualCSharp/learning/
My projectNameComboBox basically is filled with a list of values from a
table, and as the user selects values, a datagrid displays related
records from another table because it is bound via FK relationship.
My table:

Hi,
I have a datepicker that show a calender. The user picks a date and the
time component is always 00:00.
I then have a drop down that provides a list of times, (10:00, 11:00 etc),
and I want to combine this with the date value, so that I can store it in a
single field in the database.
How can I combine these two values into one ?

Hello
lately i have been trying to make a custom combobox with a few targets.
1. to create a disabled items

I already managed both properties items. i also managed to draw both items as i want(disabled in gray, seperator as a line).
the problem is the user can click on the items, both the line(since it's actually a '-' item) of the seperator item, and the disabled item.

I understand that the Value put into a DataGridViewComboBoxCell has to be a
member of the Items list or an exception is thrown.
I also understand that you can override that exception by handling the
DataError event and just doing nothing in the circumstance that caused the
error.
Here's my situation: I would like to allow the user to EITHER select an item
from the ComboBox (in a DataGridView) OR type in a new value of their own.

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.
