Populating Combo Box, Columns?

Jun 22, 2010

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 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.

Recently started working with VB.NET, and I'm just playing around with the controls and everything.

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?

Syntax Checker - Populating My Combo Box With All Of A Root-child's Child Element's Names?

Mar 10, 2009

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:
