I 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 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.

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.
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.

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:
