I have a project that currently uses an XML config file to create some groups. Based on these groups, you can search a database for information. What I want to do is create a form for editing that file. I can get to the information via messagebox, but when putting it into a ComboBox, I can't get the list updated. I have tried the text property which only populates the initial selection, and the Items is a read-only property. Nothing else looks close to what I want to do.
My other thought is to populate a datatable with the information and then populate the combo box from the database. It seems like an extra step that I shouldn't need, but it may be the only option right now.
The reason it can't be hardcoded is that the XML config file is already being used by a program, and the file may be updated from two or three computers, meaning I need a central location for the file.
i wanted to link options selected from Comb box A (general) to specific options in combo box B (specific). I want to pick a word in Combo box A that has specific words/phrases in Combo Box B show. But not all the words to show in the combo box B if they aren't associated with the Word picked in Combo Box A. Ex.When "Soda" is picked in A, only "Coke, Sprite, Fanta" should be visible in combo box b, not everything else.This is the code i used to make the boxes, but i don't know how to link them.
Private Sub MainForm_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
' fills the combo boxes with values
Me.xGeneralComboBox.Items.Add("Soda")
Me.xGeneralComboBox.Items.Add("Juice")

How to use a databound combo box to display one field in the drop down, and another as the combo box text on roll up? Using VS 2005... For example, I have a datatable that has 2 fields. One called "ShortDesc" and one called "LongDesc". I want to be able to see the "LongDesc" column values in the drop down on the combo box. When I make a selection, I want the text in the combo box to read the corresponding "ShortDesc" value.

Combo box 2 is filled based on a selection made in combo box 1 and a listview is populated based on the selection made in combo box 2.When the LostFocus event completes in combo box 1, it hits the LostFocus event in Combo Box 2 but it shouldn't. How do I prevent this from happening or if I can't prevent it, how do I work around it? The following is the code used.
Private Sub cboCategory_LostFocus(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles cboCategory.LostFocus

I've got some code like the following. I want it so that when I chose an item in 'select 1' it changes the in the second combo box but I'm not sure of the best way to go about it. Does it have to be AJax or can it be done with just Javascript?

I have several combo controls that need to be populated with a specific ID and name. I want the user to choose the name and have the ID in the background. Later when the data is exported from the database the specific ID's are exported and not the names.
I see that I can create the items in the combobox rather easily using their names. However, how can I associate the ID number for each of the items. Private Sub frmReceipts_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
' Add receipt types to combo box
cboReceipt.Items.Add("Monetary")
cboReceipt.Items.Add("Inkind")
cboReceipt.Items.Add("NSF")
End Sub
I thought it would be better to have a seperate table with the different receipt types and then somehow connect/link the contents of this new table to the combo box on this form. However, I am at a loss on how to do this.

I tried binding a DataGridView to a DataSet using the DataSource property but no data appeared in the DataGridView. I placed a DataGridView in an empty form, making no property changes except for the name. I did not create columns in the DataGridView. In the form's load event I placed the following code for loading a dataset named ds Executing in debug mode, I confirmed that there was data in that dataset. No column headings or data appeared in the DataGridView. What am I doing wrongly? There are 34 fields (columns) in the DataSet - maybe it exceeds the capacity of a DataGridView.

I am fairly inexperienced with using datatables in VB. My question is this: Can I access a particular column of a table by name if it is not defined elsewhere like when I populate a datatable using sqldataadapter.

Is this the way it can be done? I believe this is the case, but can't find any definitive examples online (probably not searching properly)

I'm trying to create a form application in which the user is prompted to enter a date in a textbox by clicking on a button next to it that would popup a calendar. Then the user would select a date from the calendar and the textbox would be automatically populated with the date selection. The user could also just type it in, but I would like to have some kind of validation before accepting the date. I will be converting the date to an integer in this format YYYYMMDD to pass it to a query on a SQL Server 2005 database. Don't ask me why they're storing dates as integers I have no idea I'm just working with what I have hehehee. I've been looking online and trying different things but haven't been able to figure this thing out.
