Populating A Combo From A Dataset?
Dec 11, 2011
I am trying to get my head around datasets, etc. The following code pulls data from an sql server and stores it in a data set. I then set the grid's datasoure to this data set. Now I want to populate a combo box on 'form load' with information from a field (surname) within the authors table.How do I approach this? I can do it in design mode but I want to do it in code as I feel you get a better understanding of what is happening under the hood.

I am trying to create a unit converter program. At the moment I'm trying to populate my combo box with results that have been calculated. I have two sets of results to display. I want them displayed side by side and have been trying very hard to do this. So far I've managed to get the result to display but only the original unit, it's start, increment and end value. Not the converted unit, start, increment and end value.
Then I managed to display both the original inputs and the converted inputs but they were showing directly below one another instead of being seperated into two seperate columns, i.e. original input, start, increment and end and the converted unit, start, increment etc.
This is the code snippet I am working with:
lstTableResult.Text = "" + (FormatNumber(lcInputValue, CInt(mdDecPlaces))), "" + (FormatNumber(lcResult, CInt(mdDecPlaces)))
The code above is incorrect and shows errors, i.e. is asking for end of statement.
The code below works, but it is only one code line, I've just split into two to make it work... not what I actually want.
lstTableResult.Items.Add(FormatNumber(lcInputValue, CInt(mdDecPlaces)))
lstTableResult.Items.Add(FormatNumber(lcResult, CInt(mdDecPlaces)))

I am using the following code for populating the combo boxes in my application. It is really nice. If any one requires, may use this. It takes three parameters. The first, the name of the Combo Box and the second, the SQL Statement to populate the combo box and the third is the number of column to be displayed (from the SQL statement)

Recently started working with VB.NET, and I'm just playing around with the controls and everything. What I want to do, is populate a drop-down list or a combobox (on program load) with data from a dictionary. I'm used to php, so I tried a for each dictionary.items as newitem combobox.items.add(newitem) but I can't get it working. Can someone give me an example of this? And what if i wanted only the key to show in the drop-down, and the corresponding value shown on a label besides it when I make a selection?

I thought I would have a go at creating an inventory system - as I can learn VB.net on the way and its useful to use. The first hurdle I have come across is I would like to link a combo box with active directory to populate the name of who is requesting the stock item - can anyone point me in the right direction of how this is done please?

I am trying to use a DataSet to retrieve the data necessary to display a Crystal Report. Just before the report is set to load, I have a message box to show the number of rows in the table. As of right now, when the message box comes up it says "3" which is right. I have 3 records currently in the table I am trying to read from. But the report is always blank with the column headings.

I am building a form in access database.
I have a combo box which is linked to a query which is looking up a unique reference number from a table called Tbl_Submitted_Requests.
What I need the form to do is auto populate the other text boxes when the user selects the unique reference from the combo box. How can I get the text boxes to auto populate with the data that is associated with each unique reference?

I have a database that has tables in it. Tables can be added to this databse programatically as well as the data that needs to be in those tables.I need to be able to query that database to get what tables are in it, place the names of those tables into a listbox so that when a user clicks on the name of the table, It will update a DataGridview with the data that is in that table in the database.I assume that you would need to build a dataset at runtime based off of what tables are in the DB, but i have no idea how to do this.

Heres my issue, I am retrieving data from xml and populating a DataSet with the results into multiple DataTables but i have an issue where an item is repeated in my input data and it is causing it to exception because of the constraints imposed between these tables. how can i determine if a row exists prior to adding the DataRow and thus not include it in my DataTable?

My program handles XML files that have certain elements within a root-child node that are identical expect for their inner text value. So while populating my combo box with all of a root-child's child element's names I get like five identical items listed. Which brought about the problem of selecting say the third item and getting the value of the first displayed. So I came up with a loop function that determines if the selected combo box item is preceded by one of the same name, if it is, then it adds +1 to a counter variable and keeps checking farther and farther up the list. Once it loops to an item that doesn't have the same name it exits and it reads the Xth (X = counter mentioned earlier) element's inner text from the file. This works great for elements 1, 3, 4, and 5. But not for 2. A while back when I was focused on this problem I discovered the root of the problem but I was unable to circumvent it. I'll put the loop below so you can see the problem in action instead of trying to follow my verbose explanation:

I am trying to fill a combo box using a dataset and data adapt. I am struggling too work out how to do it. I thought it would have been easy but I was wrong. i can set the text to read the first line of the colomn but nothing else. I was wondering if anyone could help me out with what I have to do. I think I have to increment inc and add a line underneath but I don't know how to do that
comboMaps.Text = datSet.Tables("TheLastShot").Rows(inc).Item("Maps")

I'm trying to populate a combo box with a dataset, this sort of works, but everything is just appearing on the same line. I think this answer might be to put the dataset into an array, then put the array into the combo box.
...problem is, I'm not sure how to do this! My code thus far is,
Dim usernameList As Array
'Retrieve usernames where player has available status
GetFilteredData()

I'm using Visual Basic 2010. I have my dataset in my program. I'm have several combo boxes on the form that I was able to bind the particular table with the information from each table to most of the combo boxes by dragging and dropping them onto the combo boxes. However, one combo box in particular must be populated by code. When a user selects, let's say "a" from one combo box, I need the next combo box to display information in certain tables only, based upon their choices in the previous combo box.

I am very new to VB 2010 and SQL This is my first project.
Have multiple combo boxes that can use the same dataset.
The issue I have is that when I select data in one combo box the other combo box will change to what i selected fo rthe first box and visa-versa.
The only way I found around this is to create a new dataset for each combo box.

I am trying to create a combo box that would display data from a dataset, and also a 'Please Select' as the first item. I have written the following code which derives from a combo box and it works fine in visual studio 2003 but in 2008 would not display the comboboxtext (which is 'Please select').

I am writing a school project in VB2005 and am trying to hook up a second combo box that gets its information of what to display from the first combo box. My application is where a student takes a "test" but they can choose what instructor they want in the first combo box. From there, they choose from a test of what each instructor offers in the second combo box. As of right now, my first combo box works great and my second combo box has nothing in it. Just a note, when I debug, it shows my iUserID value as 0.

Visual studio 2005 - vb.net..I have a user control on a form containing 15 combo boxes.All contain Y, N, and blank (for Yes, No, or blank) in the Items Collection property.Each of the combo boxes have a binding source to the same table, different fields.When you select a value Y, N, or blank for any of the fields and do a save, the values save while the application is open.Once you close and reopen, the values are gone.It appears the dataset does not recognize the change, so the values are not getting stored in the database table. Is there something I can do or put in one of the events that would identify this as a change.

i wanted to link options selected from Comb box A (general) to specific options in combo box B (specific). I want to pick a word in Combo box A that has specific words/phrases in Combo Box B show. But not all the words to show in the combo box B if they aren't associated with the Word picked in Combo Box A. Ex.When "Soda" is picked in A, only "Coke, Sprite, Fanta" should be visible in combo box b, not everything else.This is the code i used to make the boxes, but i don't know how to link them.
