Hi,
I am new to .Net.
I am using a Combo Box in my windows forms. I am adding the items by
creating the instances and adding the same to the list.
My questions/doubts are:
1. If I have 25 to 30 options in each combo box and like that if we have 6
or 7 combo boxes in a form, isnt it a problem in creating that number of
instances everytime the form is opened/activated
2. How do I dispose the Combo Box items.
Your comments/response is greatly appreciated.
thanks

Svae the datasource in a module or a shared property as a class. Then, just
set the datasource of the combobox to this value - set the displaymember and
valuemember properties accordingly.
You're abosultely right though - reloading this each time is a pig - but if
you just load a dataset at init and then use a shared property, you're good
to go.

VB,
When there is used a datagridcomboboxcolomn, than there are mostly a lot
more comboboxes as you now tell on a form.
I never heard a complain in this newsgroup.
Never think about disposing when you do not need to do it, it can be usefull
to clear bitmaps something faster because they are mostly huge
memoryspenders.
Relaeasing resources is one of the reasons dotNet is made.
Just my thought,

What problems do you think of? There may be performance problems if you are
adding hundreds of items when the form is shown, and maybe there will be
memory problems if you are adding a large number of elements.
2. How do I dispose the Combo Box items.
Simply remove them from the combobox and dispose them, if they implement
'IDisposable'.
