Adding TimeZoneInfo To Combobox And Setting SeletedItem Baffles Me
Mar 16, 2012
So I am populating a combobox with all the computers time zones and then by default selecting the local time zone. I can populate the combobox but the selecting of the default item has me puzzled.[code]So maybe my lack of understanding this but when i bind the collection to the combobox does it not get filled with TimeZoneInfo objects. In other words isn't each list item of type TimeZoneInfo? If so why doesn't the qdx assignment not work? I get back a -1 which means it couldn't find the timezone object in the combobox but it can find it in the tzCollection. I also experimented with .SelectedItem but that didn't pan out either.I'm just not understanding how this is supposed to work. It works now because I think there is a one-to-one mapping from tzCollection to the cbo items.

Is there any method to get the 3 char code from System.TimeZoneInfo.Local?e.g. EDT instead of Eastern Daylight time etc.

Why would the TimeZoneInfo class in .NET show that Indiana observes daylight savings time? I thought that parts of Indiana where EST all the time. Should I be using something other than "US Eastern Standard Time" to represent those parts of Indiana that don't observe DST? [code]

Is there a simple way when using a datagrid to restrict the user from changing existing records but allowing them to add them. I have lookup tables that I want them to be able to add to but not edit the existing entries.

Here's the problem, going back to an earlier project - I have a block of 'settings' text in TextBox3, and need to search my XML document for that block - I then need to ADD a settings block from TextBox5 AFTER the found settings block, without having the format messed up - This is the 'block' I am trying to search for:
[Code]...
Is this even possible? I've tried a few different coding procedures, but I can only seem to search for a single string part [ One line ], and the <SettingEntry> tag is used for every line in the XML...

I've made a ComboBox in my form where I add some classes of my own design. Unfortunately they get a generic name when they are displayed in the ComboBox. How can I set their names in the Form?
Class Cabel
Public Sub New(ByVal IName As String, ByVal IConstant As Double)
Name = IName
Constant = IConstant
[Code] .....
cbCurrentCabel and cbNewCabel are the names of my two combiboxes

I can set the value of a combobox on a form by using ComboBoxName.Text = "SomeText" but how can I do this if the combo box is within a datagridview? When I type DataGridViewComboBox the .text property is not listed. If I try to force it, I get an error.

I programatically / runtime created combobox and bind it to a datasource but can not set its default value. Since I am using the Handler of SelectedValueChanged, this is causing the program to mis-fire. Here is the code I am using.
Public WithEvents T_combo as ComboBox

Dim T_Dict As New Dictionary(Of String, String)

Ok, I'm trying to set a value to each item in my combobox, but I don't know how. Lets say I have ComboBox1 that contains the letter A-Z, 26 items, I would want to set each letter a specific number, then use that number for something else. Like, if I set the letter A to equal the number 4, and the user has chosen A in the combo, I could do something like make a Msgbox say that value(4). Does that make sense?

I have a datagridview which has mixed values in one column. Is there a way to add a control into the Value cell depending on the row? For example, for Name and Age row, it will be a regulator textbox but for the Products row, I want to be able to add a combobox.

I can't seem to set the selected index or selected value of a DataGridView combobox when loading data from a database. My DGV has two combobox columns which are bound to datatables. The DGV itself is not bound initially. After adding a row, I select a value from each combobox which then populates the rest of the cells in the row. I'm using the EditingControlShowing event to add an eventhandler to catch the SelectedIndexChange of the combo boxes. This all works as needed. My issue comes when populating the DGV with saved data, I need to add the rows and set the selected index and/or selected value of each combo box. I've searched through various forums and articles for the last week with no luck.
I'm using VS2008 sp1, .NET 3.5 sp1 and SQL 2005 sp2 Express.

I have a combobox on a form which has data bound items, the datasource is a dataset called ShiftType that was created using the new data source wizard. The data consists of three columns ID, Name ,Description. Name is the display Member and ID is the value member. This form is called from a different form, a variable containing the shifttypeid is passed as a parameter. I am able to get this parameter across fine.
What I would like to be able to do is, match this parameter with the data in the dataset and find the row index and set that item as the selected item of the combo box. I am confused as to how to proceed with it. Also, I would like to add an extra item to the dataset apart from the items obtained from the database. This represents "NONE", i.e. so if the user doesn't want to choose a shift type they can use the None item. How do i add this without having to add a dummy value in the database.

adding to the binding source then setting the combobox to selectedIndex of newly added row is not working.the new row is in there but it does not set the selectedIndex to the specified index. but if I run the code a second time it selects it.what can i do to make sure the combo uses the specified index?
Dim drv As DataRowView = CType(Dispatch.M8CustomersBindingSource.AddNew(), DataRowView)
drv("custID") = "999999"
drv("CustomerName") = "Select Customer"

I have a datagridview that is populated using an oledbconnection:
Private Sub FileSpecs_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
Dim cn As OleDbConnection = New OleDbConnection("Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=" & My.Settings.DBLocation & ";")Dim cmd As OleDbCommand = New OleDbCommand("SELECT specFieldno AS [Field No],specFieldName AS [Field Name], specFieldType FROM fileSpecs WHERE ClientNo='" & ClientSetup.clientNo.Text & "' AND direction=" & ClientSetup.fileDir, cn)
[Code]...
The problem I now face is that the 'index' value of the combobox item for each row is in the field specFieldType which is populated into the datagrid.I need to be able to set the value of the ComboBox for each row when the form is opened, and also be able to save the index value of each row selection if any changes are made/saved.

I have added a textbox and a combobox into the form. There are 2 buttons as Add and Remove. Everything works fine here but the problem is after addig/removing (using add/remove button) new items into the combobox, when I close it, the new items added/removed are gone. I need to save the new items added to the combobox during close. I can understand I have to create a Application Setting which will save the new items added to combobox upon closing. But I don't know which code I need to use? Below are the currently used code of this project.
Public Class Form1
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
' This is to add new items to combobox
ComboBox1.Items.Add(TextBox1.Text)
'MsgBox("" & TextBox1.Text & " Successfully Added to Combobox")

1. I have a DataGridView box, that is connected to a MySQL database via the 'Data Source'. I am trying to do the datagridview1.rows.add("info here"), however i receive an error i cannot do this programmatically. I DO know the code to post to MySQL via the "insert into" la la la.However, I was curious if I can do this via the datagridview a bit..easier/simpler, such as a "datagridview1.rows.add(stuff)" sorta thing.
2. I am attempting to make a custom control, and as with ANY control, they have their.. settings. Example, a textbox, or label, has so you can set the Text. and color, etc.Others, have it (such as datagridview) have the little icon on the control itself, where you click it, and it opens a small window with settings.

I have a little problem with application setting in VB.net 2008. I want to switch main server and backup server connection string with combobox. [Code] It did change the Application Setting connection string in the main form when combobox1 was changed. But the problem comes, when child form was called. On the child form there is DataGridView with Dataset using application connection string. Even the Backupserver was selected on the main form, child form dataset connection string doesn't change. I don't know how to pass the current connection string to child form dataset although it is set to use application setting.

I'm trying to implement a combobox that will drop down and give a list of things that the user can select via checkbox so that they can have all, none, or some of the items selected/implemented in the program. Through some research, I've come up empty handed. I found a few tutorials that dealt with tons of class files, which I'm not really familiar with, didn't understand much, and then didn't work. Who would've thunk it right?Anyway, i tried just adding the checkedListBox as a control to the comboBox and it would disappear from the form as if it had been added, but wouldn't show up from the comboBox drop down menu..can anyone tell me how I can go about doing that?

In VB.Net for an ASP project I was able to do the following:
Dim Item As ListItem While DataReader.Read Item = New ListItem Item.Text = DataReader.Item("CustomerName").ToString Item.Value = DataReader.Item("CustomerNumber").ToString Me.lstCustomers.Items.Add(Item) End While
However in a VB.Net Windows Project it won't let me duplicate this.
I need to display the CustomerName but return the CustomerNumber of the selected customer
I am also adding the items in code because they are changing based on changing values.
