when i load my windows form i populate a combobox i use the code below
Dim conn As New System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection(strConn)
Dim sql As String = "AllLenders"
Dim da As New System.Data.SqlClient.SqlDataAdapter(sql, conn)
Dim ds As New DataSet()
da.Fill(ds)
ComboBox1.DataSource = ds.Tables(0)
ComboBox1.DisplayMember = "Lender"
da.Dispose()
ds.Dispose()
This code compiles and works perfectly on my win2k box
now when someone takes my compiled executable and runs it on
windows xp, the combobox is not populated!
Ive also tried compiling it on a windows xp box and it still does not
work
the sql string is a stored procedure
im desperate for help with this as ive hit a brick wall!
Thanks

don't know if this is it but
you bind the combo to a dataset and then dispose the dataset
unles someone has a better sollution have a look in that direction
hope it helps

Just out of curiousity, you are using strConn as the connection string for
your connection object. You don't display it here, perhaps for security
reasons, but my question is this.
Are you using a data source name on the 2K box that is not present on the XP
box? If your strConn is an actual connection string pointing to a DB,
ensure that the location and DB are the same on both systems.
One way to debug this real quick is to do a table count or a row count on
the table to see if you are returning any rows at all. This will narrow the
search as to where the problem lies, either DB connectivity or combo box
problem.
I'm inclined to believe that for some reason, you are not really connecting
to the DB.

EricJ,
I cant get your code to work at all
i created the class with no problems
i then put the other code section into the onformload sub
but your for statement does not work and to be honest i cant read your code
but the main problem im still having is that my orignal code works fine in
win2k
but does not work in windows xp - i cant see why there should be a
difference
as fundementally the Os's are still the same.

Hi Gerry,
I take your message to Help Mike, because the last sentence from your
message should throw a connection error if it is true, but because he can
probably not debug on the XP computer I find your idea of counting
intresting.
Hi Mike,
Can you add this after your strConn = etc and change the name of your
table?.
Dim myCommand As New SqlCommand("select count(*) from MyTable", strConn)
myCommand.Connection.Open()
Dim count As Integer = CInt(myCommand.ExecuteScalar())
messagebox.show(count.tostring)
Conn.Close()
I am also curious.
(By the way, can you tell why you dispose those resources of the dataset and
the dataadapter)
Cor
Cor,
I've already counted my rows from the dataset, and in both xp and 2k it
returned the correct value
I dispose of my dataadapter and my dataset as they are no longer used and I
presume they use memory
so I dispose of them for efficiency

Hi Mike,
But the suske and wiske class from Eric should not be necessary, this is
real strange.
Did you for the datarow use that dararow (1) or that "Lender"?
Cor
..net will do that for you normally (if they are no longer needed)

hey cor :)
you are absolutely right, but
my colegues have had a lot of unexplainable bound combo problems. I got
everyone working w a bigger version of that 'suske and wiske' class and
since then no probs.

Not "Lender" as in your displaymember?
Cor
Yes, I believe you are correct although I have seen situations where I
wasn't connected and also for some reason didn't get an error. Strange but
true.
At any rate, I have used the method of counting rows returned since I
started working with XML files as data sources. I find it a quick way to
determine if I am at least getting anything back.
