Parveen,
Yes, it is possible.
You start off by creating your own class that contains its own properties, like this:
Public Class Person
Private _strFName As String
Private _strPID As String
Public Property FirstName() As String
Get
Return _strFName
End Get
Set(ByVal Value As String)
_strFName = Value
End Set
End Property
Public Property PersonId() As String
Get
Return _strPID
End Get
Set(ByVal Value As String)
_strPID = Value
End Set
End Property
Public Overrides Function ToString() As String
Return FirstName
End Function
End Class
Next, add to your combobox and set the valuemember and displaymember like so:
Dim PColl(3) As Person
PColl(0) = New Person
PColl(0).FirstName = "Ed"
PColl(0).PersonId = "JFIE663"
PColl(1) = New Person
PColl(1).FirstName = "Rick"
PColl(1).PersonId = "JIUE32"
PColl(2) = New Person
PColl(2).FirstName = "Mike"
PColl(2).PersonId = "KEU98"
PColl(3) = New Person
PColl(3).FirstName = "HomerJSimpson"
PColl(3).PersonId = "ID10T"
For i As Integer = 0 To 3
Me.ComboBox1.Items.Add(PColl(i))
Next
Me.ComboBox1.DisplayMember = "FirstName"
Me.ComboBox1.ValueMember = "PersonId"

Is it possible to manually provide (display,value) pairs for a combo box??
The only method I'm aware of is bind the "displaymember" and "valuemember"
properties of the combobox to columns in a datatable.
I want to be able to add items to the combobox and be able to give my own
values for the valuemember property...is this possible??
Thanks.
