I use the following code to populate a ComboBox with printer names.
Dim ps As PrinterSettings.StringCollection = PrinterSettings.InstalledPrinters
For i As Integer = 0 To ps.Count - 1
Me.CurrentPrinter.Items.Add(ps.Item(i))
Next
When the uses selects a printer from the ComboBox I then need to set a PrintDialog.PrintQueue to the PrintQueue that corresponds to the select name (which is a string). Here's the code I tried that's not working.
Dim dlg As New PrintDialog()
dlg.PrintQueue = GetPrintQueueFromCombo()
dlg.PrintVisual(canvas, "AlignPrinterSampleForm")

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.

I am populating a combobox with a list of names that are coming from a database. I would like to get the names to show up in the combo box in alphabetical order. [code] There is also another combobox I'm populating with text from a database. (as below). However, in the database, in the column I'm reading data from, there are a few duplicate rows and then when the combobox is populated, the same text can be seen 2/3 times. What can I do or add to my existing code, that will ensure that there is no duplication shown in the combo box? [code]

I am trying to populate a combobox with a list of filenames from a selected directory. I am getting the directory OK but the combobox instead of having a list of 8 files max shown when I select the combobox has a full list of all the files selected from that directory.
Private Sub BrowseButton_Click(sender As System.Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles BrowseButton.Click
If FolderBrowserDialog1.ShowDialog() = DialogResult.OK Then
TextBox1.Text = FolderBrowserDialog1.SelectedPath

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.

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 am used to C like languages such as C#. I added a list box with a list of names. In the code behind I added the below code. When I run the code I am getting the MessageBox but it will state "UserName favorite color is " but does not show the color. I thought it might be misspelled or non-matching names but this is not the issue due to the names being correct.

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

How do you use a parameterized query to make the (last_name, first_Name) appear in the same combo box? I know how do drag them over from the DATA SOURCES menu, but I am trying to combine them. So instead of it being two separate combo boxes with both last_name and first_name), it want it to find the the names with first and last name in the same combo box.

I tried the code below but unfortunately, all i get is a combobox with U,s,e,r,s, as each line in the items collection and not the filenames of the relevant files.
the DirGetPath("Users") Function below returns my default document and application paths and appends "Users" to the end as the relevant files are stored in that Folder.
All I get is a combo box with the items as U, s,e,r,s (i.e. Users spelled out).
I tried all of the following as alternative methods too:
System.IO.Path.GetExtension()
System.IO.Path.GetFileName()
System.IO.Path.GetFileNameWithoutExtension()
