I can understand since .ini files are pretty outdated, but I'll explain. I have a combo box, and inside the combobox I want it to display the names in a section of the .ini file. So say my .ini file contains the following:
[SECTION1]
Name = Billy
Lastname = Bob
Inside the combobox I wan't it to display the items "Name ", and "Lastname " only, not the section or the values.

View 1 RepliesI need to pull from an access database to populate a combobox. Then from there I need to have a second combo box populated depending on the selection in the first box.

View 5 RepliesI have created a simple conversion program, I have two comboBoxes that are populated by a text file called 'data.txt'. It all works perfectly apart from when i have the squared units in it, instead of getting the '�' symbol that is in the text file, i get a diamond shape with a question mark inside.
I would think that you must have to put some sort of code before the squared symbol in the text file, but I cannot figure it out.

I'm attempting to add comma delimited values to a combobox. The problem is I do not know if this is the best way to split the values into the combobox. Is there a more cleaner/efficient way to do this?:
Dim toread As String
toread = ini.ReadValue("Schools", "Schools")
Dim textdelimiter As String
textdelimiter = ","
Dim splitout = Split(toread, textdelimiter)
Dim i As Integer
For i = 0 To UBound(splitout)
ComboBox1.Items.Add(splitout(i))
Next
I have two ComboBoxes
<ComboBox Name="cmbMake" DisplayMemberPath="MakeName" SelectedValuePath="MakeID"/>
<ComboBox Name="cmbModel" DisplayMemberPath="ModelName"/>
I use LINQ-to-Entities to populate the cmbGroup ComboBox
Dim db as myDataEntity
cmbGroup.ItemsSource = db.Makes
How do I populate my second ComboBox (cmbModels) based on the selection of the first ComboBox (cmbMake) using XAML so that whatever I select in the first ComboBox automatically filters the ItemsSource in the second ComboBox?
I currently have a form with two comboxes. The first cbo is being populated with a project number, which is being pulled from the first column of a spreadsheet. I now want the second cbo to read the first cbo and then find that project number on the spreadsheet; when it finds that project number, I then need it to copy data from the row the project number is on. I have converted to vb from vba. Below is the code I used in vba (which obviously does not work). I only need certain cells from the project row.
Dim proj_num, rng As Range
Dim data, i As Long, j As Long
With Sheet1

View 5 RepliesI am a beginner in VB.Net. I have a table tblName; which consist of columns 'Name' and 'ID'. I want to populate the comboBox, where displaymember = 'Name' and ValueMember = 'ID'. In short, when a user selects a 'Name', return value should be the 'ID'. I can do it using DataAdapter.

I want to populate a Combo Box with a list of names and from that have the contact information (address, phone, email, ect..) populate a series of textboxes. The list is roughly 20 names, but it could grow to a hundred or more. Since the contact information changes periodically, I would like a very easy way to maintain it (Excel or Access).
Update: I am just trying to understand whether I should use Linq (have to learn it) or is there some other way this should be done.
