Finding BindingSource.Position from Listbox Selection

[Randy]

Hi,
I'm have a form with a listbox and a few textboxes on it. Based on
the user's selection in the listbox, I want the bindingsource to
update the textboxes with the corresponding values. I have similar
code built for a combobox that works just fine, but when applying it
to a listbox bound to a dataview, I can't figure out how to return the
correct bindingsource index. No matter what item I select, my index
returns 0.

Private Sub lbUOM_SelectedIndexChanged(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e
As System.EventArgs) Handles lbUOM.SelectedIndexChanged

cn.Open()

Dim drv As DataRowView = CType(lbUOM.SelectedItem,
DataRowView)
tb.Text = drv.Item("USUOM").ToString

Dim index As Integer = bsUOM.Find("USUOM", tb.Text)
If index <-1 Then 'it was found; move to that
position
bsUOM.Position = index
End If

cn.Close()
End If
End Sub

Can anybody see why this doesn't work? Is there a better way to
navigate the bindingsource based on a listbox selection? I don't see
this issue posted anywhere in this board.

Thanks,
Randy

Hi Randy,

Did you find a solution to this? I have a combo box bound to a Access db Table - column 1. When the combo item is selected I want the same records column 2 entry to display in a text box. I'm struggling to get a decipherable explanation on how to use BindingSource for .net 2005.

Any help would be gratfully received.

Thanks,
Nick

Nick,

That goes automaticly as you databind the textbox to a table, and you do the
same for the combobox using the datasource, then the currencymanager will
set the current table-item in the textbox.

You even need a New DataView for not doing that.

I would use this newsgroup for information instead of the by you quoted one.
This is common stuff here.
