The below function works great. I call this function from a form to load a ComboBox control on my form. It assigns the "DisplayMember" property a field from the SQL statement as well as the "ValueMember" property.
My problem occurs when, in my form I get the error message (as seen in the screenshot) from the below

Is there any way to get the ComboBox SelectedIndex based on SelectedValue when Datasource property is set with DisplayMember and ValueMember?

I've got an Access 2007 table with names of people and the unique ID # of their sponsoring agencies. There is a second table in the accdb with the sponsoring agencies and their unique ID #. How do I display the actual agency name, and not the ID #, in a combobox?
What I want to see is this:
John Doe ABC Corporation (John Doe in textbox, ABC in combo)
The results I'm getting is this however:
John Doe 10
I'm using the code below to display the agency and name. I know this is not the right code but don't know what other code to use.
DirectCast(e.DataRepeaterItem.Controls("cboSponsoringAgency"),
ComboBox).Text
= currItem("SponsoringAgencyID").ToString

I can use this code to set the DisplayMember, but the ValueMemeber is always the name of the field and not the field values. I can even reverse and put the ID in the DisplayMember and it works. Not sure what I'm missing here.

What I'm just trying to do is the following:I need to fill a combobox from a dataset, but I have to translate the entries before displaying them. That's why I assume I have to use a loop to add the Items.
View 2 RepliesI am using a bound combobox control in a vb.net application. How do I set the combo box to an item if I know the value of the ValueMember, but I don't know the DisplayMember. I can use the FindExactString method if I know the DisplayMember, but not if I only know the ValueMember.In explanation, the value member is an employee Number, the display member is the Name. I get the employee number from a detail item in another table and now I want to set the combobox to display the Name that goes with that detail item.
Can someone post some vb code to show how to do this.

View 1 RepliesI need to create a user control which can be used in my all projects. I have created a user control with a TextBox Control and a ListBox Control. My goal is that as soon as any character is pressed in the textbox, Listbox's item which starts from that character should be selected. I have done all the coding needed for the functionality but my problem is that when I add this usercontrol to my form, I should be able to change the DataSource, displaymember and valuemember properties at designtime. But I cannot see these properties when I add the control on the form.

I have an editable ComboBox with a validation on the Text property to make sure manually entered info is valid.EDIT: All I want to do is populate the .Text property with the ValueMember of a selection rather than the DisplayMember I also have the .Items populated with valid entries having the DisplayMember and ValueMember set.My DisplayMember is a caption along with the data, and the ValueMember is the data itself.So Items might be:
(DisplayMember, ValueMember)
"Foo - 1ab2" , "1ab2"
"Bar - 3cd4" , "3cd4"
I had a validation on the text which can also validate manual user input like "5ef6" The problem I'm having is that if the user selects an item from the combobox it populates the text field with the DisplayMember property (ex: "Foo - 1ab2") which will fail validation.I have tried to manually set the .Text property with the SelectedValue or the SelectedItem.Value on each of the three relevant combobox events to no avail.I would like that the .Text of the ComboBox get populated with the .ValueMember of the item when selected rather than the .DisplayMember
EDIT: I cannot validate by trying to extrapolate the value from the caption. I send the Text off to a service to be validated.
void FillMyCombo
{
KeyValuePair<string, string> listValue1 = new KeyValuePair<string, string>("Foo - 1ab2" , "1ab2")
KeyValuePair<string, string> listValue2 = new KeyValuePair<string, string>("Bar - 3cd4" , "3cd4")
[code].....
The user can manually enter something like "5ef6" which will pass validation.But when they select an item from the list, rather than manually entering it, the .Text property gets filled with the caption and not the value ... so it will contain "Foo - 1ab2" and that will fail validation. I cannot change the validation method to "infer" the value from the caption. I have no control over that service. All I'm after is the displayed value EDIT: Say a user selects "Foo - 1ab2" from the dropdown list, I want the text in the box to say "1ab2" EDIT: I have also tried to set the .Text property in code but I can't seem to make it work in any of the ComboBox events. how to programmaticly set the .Text property (and make it commit!) on a selection event they will also answer this question.

Now what happened that it gave error while saving data because the programme took as ItemId field is missing for the information to save in table.When i set the Visible property of Combobox as True the programme works fine.How i can hide Combobox ItemId without interrupting the programme to save data.

View 3 RepliesI've got a ComboBox with an ItemsSource which I've bound to a List(Of String).What I'd like to do is have the XAML update a String property when the SelectedValue of the ComboBox changes. I've seen a whole bunch of examples for TextBoxes which use

I have a form created in VB.net. It is used to get some information form a user. The form is not bound to any data source.A combobox on this form is used to enter a cost. I want the value entered by the user to be displayed using currency format. I have used the Format String Dialog that opens from the ellipses button on the FormatString property of the combobox and selected Currency. This put C2 into the FormatString property.When I run my application, this format is not applied to the value entered into the combobox at the time the number is entered or when I leave the combobox.

I have been searching for an easier way to validate the text property of my combobox.
Below is a background of what I am try to accomplish:
I have a from that contains many controls, mainly comboboxes that are bound to datatables. I have these set up in such a fashion as to when the user begins to type, the values begin to show and auto populate the combobox. This makes the selection process easier to select an actual value in the list. But, as we all know, you can lead a horse to water but you can't make him drink. Users still have the ability to type something that is not in the list. I do not want to allow them to leave the combobox until the have selected or typed a valid value from the list because I am building a SQL query to retrieve data for a later form. I don't want to lose the above mentioned functionality of being able to type it in. I currently have it working as follows, but there must be a more elegant way to do this.
I first populate my combo box like so:
CODE:
The part I don't like the most is that I feel like I should be able to use the list already loaded in the combobox data, but I can't figure out how to do it. So I end up having to reload it, this seem like a waste of time.
