VS 2005 - Databound - Populate ComboBox To Display Unique Items Directly From The DB
Oct 25, 2009
On the form load event i want to populate my ComboBox1 to display unique items directly from the DB. For that i have set the DataSource property of the ComboBox1 to the selected field. On the ComboBox1_SelectionChangeCommitted event i have set the filter for the DataSource which is working fine.
Now when i select an item from the ComboBox1 i get the filtered result in DataGridView but when i again drop down the combobox i see nothing other than the last selected item. Why is this happening? Is there a better way of populating ComboBox with the items directly from DB with default selected value as null?

I got a pizza shop and the assingment is to create a application which allows the user to take a customer's order... I have a combo box filled with all of the items you can order (data from an access file)... and I need to have it so that when you select an item, it shows up in a text box below... I keep getting an error message saying you can't convert datarowview to string..
Here is some

I am using VB.NET together with ADO.NET to create a program. I have set my TableAdapters as needed and bound the correct tables-columns to my comboboxes.My problem though is this:My combobox2 item is bound to a datatable. The table adapter's Fill method (the select command basicaly) includes a public variable in the where clause to fetch the correct results. I ll put some code here to clarify it a bit more.Public Class Frm_inv

The Combo-box only has three items (Top View, From South looking North, From West looking East). Bound data from an Access Query called qryViewsFilteredByJob. I'm using it to pass a parameter to the filter for a binding source on a second query called qryAllSections2 (I don't think that's important though.)
When the form loads up it displays correctly stating on 'Top View', and I can click another other item just fine. When I pick another item, however, the first item, 'Top View', disappears and it replaced by whatever item I just clicked. So if I clicked 'From South looking North', the three item choices are now 'From South looking North', 'From West looking East', and 'From South looking North' again...

I'm rewriting a VB6 application in VB.Net. So far I have 2 forms, frmLocations (frm1) and frmLocationInfo (frm2). frmLocations has a combobox, cboLocations, from which a selection is made and an "Ok" button is clicked, which then loads frmLocationInfo. frmLocationInfo has a series of textboxes to display info corresponding to the location that was selected - Location, Location Number, Phone, Fax, Email. There are also 3 comboboxes on frmLocationInfo - cboDepot, cboFreight, and cboDispatcher. I need their text property along with items to be populated, also with data corresponding to the initial selection made on frmLocations. I'll spare you all the difficulties I'm having w/the other comboboxes, and instead focus on cboDepot. I have gotten it to populate its text property to display the corresponding Depot, however, the items are not populating and all you see now when you click on the dropdown arrow is only the depot that shows up in the text property.
Here is the code for this portion.
frmLocationInfo
Private Sub FillDepotCombo()
Dim sql As String = "Select distinct depot.depot_name, depot.depot_refnbr, locations.site from depot inner join locations on depot.depot_refnbr =

I've been having trouble converting the following fairly straight forward c# code into vb.net 4.0, which I understand has anonymous delegates. I just havn't been able to figure it out yet.
_combo.DataBound += (sender, args) =>
{
var item = _combo.FindItemByValue(values[0].ToString());
if (item != null)
[code]...
I have tried the following
_combo.DataBound += Function(sender, args)
Dim item = _combo.FindItemByValue(values(0).ToString())
If item IsNot Nothing Then

But the compiler complains that DataBound can not be called directly, but has to be called with RaiseEvents

I have a DataGridView control that is bound to a dataset that I set up in design mode. This grid will contain addresses for a client. The relationship is 1 client to many addresses. So, when the user selects a client, I wish for this grid to populate with only the address records for that client. How do I set up in code a way for the grid to recognize this?

I am getting instances of SQL server installed on the machine and throwing them into a combobox. This works like a charm but they are showing in lowercase letters. I would like to change this to uppercase instead.I am trying to format the text when I use .Items.Add.
As an example:vb .Items.Add(Format(rs.ServerInstance, .Text.ToUpper))
I do not get any errors, but the items are not changing from lowercase to uppercase. Any suggestions?

I have a combobox that is bound to a dataset (via datatable and datatableAdapter). The combobox displays the current data in the table as it should.I have programmatically added the string "ADD..." to the list at the form.shown event:[code]when the user then click on (select) "ADD...", i open a new form to allow the user to add a new item to the list.The code i have behind the "ACCEPT" button on the new form stores the NEW value to the DATASET. I have verified this by previewing the data in the dataset.My problem is getting the combobox to reflect the changes to datatable to which it is bound.[code]

I have cascading data-bound combo boxes, however, if the second of the two boxes does not have the value, I am trying to change the data source of the original process to the default selection.
However I am getting errors no matter what I try to do to get the combo box to clear.
cboSubSystem.SelectedIndex = -1
cboSubSystem.DataSource = Nothing
Call cboSubSystem.Items.Clear()
[Code]....
Currently: "Items collection cannot be modified when the DataSource property is set." at the Items.Clear If I try to remove the clear, I get "Cannot bind to the new value member. Parameter name: value" at the valuemember set

I have a combox that is run-time bound to a table that is run-time built and populated from a text file. I have set the combobox autocomplete mode to suggest and the source to list items, but only the 1st item will work. Ok so here's the code:
Private Sub SetStateComboBox()
'set autocomplete for combobox
state_cmbx.AutoCompleteMode = AutoCompleteMode.SuggestAppend[code]....
The file is a text file with a list of the 50 states and their abbreviations in the format : stateName - abbr.Now what happens is the data is displayed correctly, but when I begin to type a letter for the autocomplete the only letter that shows anything is the "a" and it will only show the very first item in the text file.Everything else does not display with the autocomplete, but does show in the list. I have tried variations such as adding the data as items like this:
Private Sub SetStateComboBox()
'set autocomplete for combobox
state_cmbx.AutoCompleteMode = AutoCompleteMode.SuggestAppend[code]....
This way does not allow any autocomplete when I begin typing but everything is in the list. I've also tried converting the table to a customautocompletestring and still the same results.The only way that I have been able to get it to work is be entering each state as an item: state_cmbx.items.add("Michigan - MI"), then it works correctly.Also the combobox dropdownstyle is set to dropdown, and I'm using visual studio 2010 ultimate and coding using VB.

All I want is to enter text into a databound combo box. If the entry is not in the list, then the user should have the option of updating the table that the combo box is bound to.The way I have set up the project is by dragging objects from the toolbox and having the application set up the datasource through the data sources tab. This in turn creates the bindingsource, dataset and tableadapter.For updating the combobox I have added code into the leave event. This does indeed update the client table as required. However, the id stored in the quotes table is -1. How do I make sure that the correct id is stored that references the newly added client record. For your information, the client table only has an id and clientname column.
The code is as follows:
[CODE] Private Sub ClientComboBox_Leave(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles ClientComboBox.Leave
Dim con As New OleDb.OleDbConnection
Dim dsClients As New DataSet
