How to delete Data Item from the Combo box permanently

75 New Member
Hi Everybody,
I'm using VB to create a stand alone application.
I want to delete some data item from Combo box & List Box.
I've done this.
When I try to delete any data item from the combo or List box, its deleting.
But the problem is when I re-open the same application the deleted item is also displaying in the list box & combo box. But I don't want it to be like that.
How ever this application was not connected to Database.
The list present in the Combo box are added at the Design time.

Could anybody help me please....?

Thanks & regards,
Prem

Its because you are not deleting the item from the source of list where list and combo boxes are populating, or from the code.

You need to use either filing or database or you can use windows registry to do this otherwise the way you are using is impossible to delete some item permanently. :)

What is the source of data for Combo box & List Box.

is that being populated from database ? or hard coded ?

if that the case you need to delete from database as well while deleting from the control.

if hard coded need to modify the code.

I directly provided values to Listbox & Combo box @ design time. Not using code or Database. Because these boxes contains only few data items. (around 8 to 10).
ThanQ for showing interest sir.

Please reply me.

You are hardcoding the items. Save all items in a file and at runtime populate your control from that file...

I have a data bound combo box. The combo box displays several items (status code descriptions). After the combo box is bound, I want to set the combo box so that the "Draft" status is displayed by default. Since the data originally comes from a database I don't know which position in the combo box it will be and I don't want to hardcode the status_code field (I want to select the combo box item based upon status_desc). ...

Instead when the DataAdapter encounters a row marked as Deleted, it executes its DeleteCommand method to delete the row at the data source. The...
