I have created a form which sets up a dataview. The form views one
record at a time using a currencymanager. This works fine. All my
text boxes bind.
However I have a combo box which gets its lookup values from another
(Advertising) table (AdvertisingID, Advertising). This works
.. However, where it doesn't work as well is when the form
loads, the combo boxes should bind to the AdvertisingID field and
display the respective data.
When the form loads the combo box only displays a blank. If I
select the combo box all the values from the lookup table are there.
But why doesn't it display the value when the form loads.
Please help. This has been driving me nuts for three days already and
just cannot figure out what the problem is.
I'll post my code:-

Thank you for your help Ken. I see what you mean. I've just changed
this line to
With cboAdvertising
.DataSource = arrAdvertising
.ValueMember = "ID"
.DisplayMember = "Name"
.DataBindings.Add("SelectedValue", objDataView,

But the only difference I can make is if I try to bind the combobox
before adding the Datasource, Valuemember and Displaymember
propertties, there is a blank in the combobox, and if I bind the the
combobox to the field afterwards (as shown) the form loads with the
first value in the combobox selected.
Still cannot get it to display the actual data in the field when the

Hi Ken,
Sorry if I've confused things.
The datasource of the combobox is merely the lookup table that
provides the primary key and description values for the arraylist
which then populates the displaymember and valuemember properties
combobox.
Without the databindings.add line, there is nothing to bind the
combobox to the foreign key of the form's datasource.

cnnOTwo.Close()
Catch exsql As SqlException
MsgBox(exsql.ToString, MsgBoxStyle.Critical, Me.Text)
End Try
With cboAdvertising
.DataSource = arrAdvertising
.ValueMember = "ID"
.DisplayMember = "Name"
.Add("SelectedValue", objDataView, "AdvertisingMedium")
End With
It all works fine. The only bit I'm trying to understand is why the
combo box does not display the value of the underlying field that it
is (or should be) bound to.

I've sorted this problem out now. I've got rid of the class I was
using and used a dataset/dataadapter method.
Much simpler.

My I am just trying to load the value that is already in the form's

that line out but it does nothing.

Hi Ken,
Sorry if I've confused things.
The datasource of the combobox is merely the lookup table that
provides the primary key and description values for the arraylist
which then populates the displaymember and valuemember properties
combobox.
Without the databindings.add line, there is nothing to bind the
combobox to the foreign key of the form's datasource.

Hi,
You are setting the datasource, displaymember, and valuemember.
You do not need the databindings.add line.

Thank you for your help Ken. I see what you mean. I've just changed
this line to
With cboAdvertising
.DataSource = arrAdvertising
.ValueMember = "ID"
.DisplayMember = "Name"
.DataBindings.Add("SelectedValue", objDataView,
"AdvertisingMedium")
End With
But the only difference I can make is if I try to bind the combobox
before adding the Datasource, Valuemember and Displaymember
propertties, there is a blank in the combobox, and if I bind the the
combobox to the field afterwards (as shown) the form loads with the
first value in the combobox selected.
Still cannot get it to display the actual data in the field when the
form loads though!

Hi,
I looked at you code again. In vs.net 2002, 2003, and 2005
there is no add method for the combobox. Where did that line come from?
