ComboBox Bound With Custom DataSource?
Mar 5, 2011
Appropriate Title would be: Bind comboBox Tag to database.I have a comboBox on form which is bounded but and I need to populate it manually. With some reading on net i have found a way but it is not working
I can populate my combo, select item in combo, update database but the problem is when I load my form it displays empty combo (combo is fulled with my custom data but nothing is selected it must select correct ItemText) and after selecting a value in combo, the value disappears as soon as combo losses focus .

I have an RDLC report that I am rendering directly to the Response Stream as PDF (rather than using the ReportViewer). In the code that renders the report, it's DataSource is bound to a List(Of ClassA) objects defined in a custom assembly. This seems to work for the most part. My problem is that I can't seem to handle the situation where a nested object is null. For example, given ClassA and ClassB (the nested object) defined as follows:
Public Class ClassA
Public Id As Integer
Public Name As String
[Code]....
the report displays "#Error" if TheNestedObject is null. If TheNestedObject is not null, it correctly displays the Name.

In the code behind I have a function that returns a List(Of SomeClass):
rptRepeater.DataSource = SomeFunction(SomeVariable)
rptRepeater.DataBind()
In the html I have a basic repeater layout and am using the below code to get the Properties of each object returned.
<%#Databinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "Parameter1")%>
My question is, would there ever be a case that it would execute the Function more than once?

I created a Data Source with VB.NET and Visual Studio 2005. I dragged the data source onto my dialog, and VS created the text boxes with the members of my linked Object, a System.Windows.Forms.BindingSource and a System.Windows.Forms.BindingNavigator.
I populate the List (called myList), set myList as the DataSource in the BindingSource, and things work peachy except for the fact that I want this to be read-only. If the user changes something in one of the text boxes, it saves the changes.I tried creating a read-only collection to bind to the BindingSource, but that didn't solve the problem:
[Code]...
I guess I could disable all of the text boxes, but that seems a bit heavy-handed, plus I'd probably want to change the font color so that it's easier to read. Ideally, I probably wouldn't care if users were able to set focus to the text boxes, or even edit the contents, but I just wouldn't want any changes to persist. That is, if someone edited something, used the navigator to go to the next record, and then returned, I'd want it as it was before the user played with it.

I have a DataGridView to which I've set a list of objects to the DataSource. (I'm in VS 2005 using VB.) I created the DataGridView by creating a Data Source of type AssetIdentifier and dragging that Data Source onto my form. I want to update the DataGridView when the selection in either a combo box or another DataGridView changes. (Below I'm considering a click in another DataGridView.)
The following works:
Public Class dlgShowAssets
' class member variable
Private assetIdList As List(Of AssetIdentifier)
' pertinent subs and functions
Private Sub RefreshAssetIdentifierDataGridView()
[Code] .....
In this case, I always knew that assetIdList would have at least one element. I'd update the list, and reset the data source of the DataGridView to that list, and all was well. When I applied this to another situation, for which I couldn't guarantee that the list would have at least one element, things would work fine as long as I had at least one element in the list, but if the list became empty, the DataGridView threw System.IndexOutOfRangeException a number of times.
The rows in the DataGridView would not go away if I went from a non-zero number of elements to zero. I tried a workaround, which was to remove all of the elements, add one "dummy" element, and then re-bind the list to the control and it still didn't work. Also, following all of those exceptions, I'd get other similar exceptions when I hovered over the cells in the DataGridView. Some of the members of AssetIdentifier were "Nothing" but I fixed that in the constructor, and the exceptions still occur.

My form closes whenever I insert an object that has a data bound in it. The object I'm trying to insert is a textbox from the data source window (drag n drop). I've checked on the database and that the table has records in it.

I have a gridview that is bound to a datasource (Windows Forms, VB.NET). One of columns is a property of type boolean, and I want to show "yes/no" in the column instead of 0/1 or "true/false". Is this possible? Can you edit displays of columns that are bound?

I have a datagridview bound to a datatable setting its datasource property to the datatable. I would like to have a child form that contains a list of columns associated with the datatable that contains a checkbox that will allow the user to hide and show the columns ( I do not know the best control to use here) (I assume this is the easy part as All i need to do is loop through each of the datatable's columns to get the column name)
now I would like save these visible columns on some event like form_closing so that the next time the user opens the form up it will remember the settings

I have a datagridview that is bound to a list object of a custom type via a BindingSource. From everything I've read, I should be able to click the column headers and the rows sort, This doesn't happen for me. Sortmode is set to automatic and the column headers aren't set to be used for selection so it should work.
I know that I could sort progamatticly but that seems a little bit of a waste given that I should just be able to do it by default.

I list folders in my combobox but I'm trying to sort the folders alphabetically and then numerically or vice versa.
My coding to populate my combobox is
With Combobox1.DataSource =
(From folder In New IO.DirectoryInfo("Path").GetDirectories
Select (folder.Name)
).ToArray
End With
Is it possible to sort the combobox?
I have folders that are numbered like 1, 50, 115, 189 etc.
These should display as
1
50
115
189
however they display as
1
115
189
50

The combobox just populates with "System.Data.DataRowView" I know it is some command to read the correct data out of the table, is it setting up something like:
dim i as integer
for i = 0 to CompanyNames.length-1
companyadapter.fill(companynames.rows(i)]

I have a combobox which i am binding to a sortedDictionary list, so it displays in ascending order. My question is, I need to display "--Select--" as the first option. Is there any way to either:
1) add another item besides for the datasource
or
2) add an unsorted item to the top of the sortedDictionary

I have a custom collection class that is bound to a data grid view object.I'd like to try to do the following from the custom element class if possible.
1) I'd like the name of the column header to be a different text than the name of the public property in the custom class. i.e. Trade_Name should read "Trade Name"
2) I'd like to try to be able to manipulate the text formatting/color of the individual collection class element's items. i.e. for a profit/loss field I'd like to have the numbers be red if they are loss and black of they are profit. I know I could do this from the datagridview object in the form, but that can be cumbersome to raise events etc.

Has anyone here tried putting a combobox to a bound datagridview? The selected value of the combobox will depend on the value of the corresponding column in the database.
I have a datagridview. When the user clicks the edit button, the application fetches the records from the database and binds it to the datagriview. But I want to show the Gender Column as combobox with selectable 'Male' and 'Female' values.
How could I add a combobox to bound datagridview?

I bind a datatable to the combobox.DataSource on load. I then give the combobox aisplayMember and a ValueMember (2 different columns out of the datatable). In the SelectedIndexChanged of the combobox I would like to use the SelectedValue property of the combobox, just to test I MsgBox(combobox.SelectedValue) and I get "Argument 'Prompt' cannot be converted to type 'String'." Why isn't it displaying the value?

I have a bound combo box that choose employee profiles and fill the form controls.
I can edit the selected profile nicely, but how to delete that selected profile?
The combo box is bound to a sql table. When i use the...
cbox_profiles.Items.Remove(cbox_profiles.SelectedValue)it says: "Items collection cannot be modified when the DataSource property is set."
So how can i delete this selected item or any item i want from that bound combo box?

I've got a combo box that's bound to a virtualpathbinding source. The column it's bound to (Display and value members) have duplicates that I'm trying to hide/remove.
I cannot remove the duplicates programatically as it errors (the control is bound, cannot change data).

I 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.
