I'm trying to concatenate two combobox display member values using the following code
Dim CB2DM As String = ComboBox2.DisplayMember
Dim CB1DM As String = ComboBox1.DisplayMember
TextBox8.Text = Join(CB2DM & " " & CB1DM)
I keep getting an error.
I have been battling with this problem for months with virtually no success. I am using Visual Studio 2008 Professional. The database is Microsoft SQL 2005.
I have two combo boxes - both bound to database tables. These are: Combo box 1 is for "VAT" and is bound to the VAT table. This table has 3 columns configured as shown below:
[Code]....
The commented out code was my pathetic attempt to put the Value member of one combo box into the display of the other. This obviously does not work and my web browser, when using Google, is full of purple headers showing the sites that I have visited looking for an answer.
When I have this working, I want to use the feature in a datagridview which may make a difference to how the problem is approached.
I know I have done this before and as I remember it should be really easy. But for some strange reason I can't do it now and I am about to jump off the building.I will make it simple:Two tables, one is just a list of products and their code.The other table: "details" has a field named product. I want to store only the code there.In the second table's entry form, I am putting a combobox. This combo box should display the list of products, their names, but depending on which one is selected, the code is what is passed to the table "details". Currently If I set the display member to product and the value member to code it still pases the product to the binded data source.

Does anyone know how I can go about concatenating multiple columns from a table to populate into a combobox? I have 4 columns from which I need the data to show up in 1 line when clicking on the dropdown/combobox list. I'm not sure if I have to deal with the display member or the value member.

View 1 RepliesI have 2 tables Table A & Table B Table A has the table values that I want to be populated in a datagridview control.The challenge is that column 1 in table A contains an ID(foreign key) to a name field that is a located in table B. I need the datagrid to have the first column be a combobox that displays the names(from Table B) that are already in table A via the ID's, but reference the populating values from Table B. So that when you bring down the combobox you would be choosing from Table B data but populating table A with the ID and you would see a name there instead of an ID.[code] How do I populate my DS dataset with Table B? And how can I create a link to these two tables using a bound datagridview control?
View 1 RepliesI have a database that holds information about a particular job. One of those things is a customerID. CustomerID links to another table containing customer details. I have a combo box attached to a custom object that holds customerID as the valuemember and CustomerName as the displaymember.The JobDetails holds the customerID info. How do I set the default selection in the combobox based on the ValueMember of the combo box?

Right now I am trying to make a combobox from a SQL table, it looks something like the following:
id|name|
---------
1|square
2|round
3|triangle
The combobox that I want should display the "name" parts, and I have made the code to display it correctly:
Dim dr As OdbcDataReader

I have a drop-down ComboBox, where the values are a range of indexes, followed by a key value. So one line looks like:01 : 01010101010101010202020202020202
I have set the ComboBox up so that on the form, only "01 :" is displayed, but the DropDownWidth allows the entire string to be seen when the dropdown arrow is clicked.However, once that is done, I am left with "0202" (the last four characters) showing in the ComboBox, rather than "01 :" until the control loses focus. How can I force "01 :" to display?
I would like to load a combobox with some values from an access database. On form load I load my information into a data grid view but if the user wants to add more information or edit what is selected in the DGV I will enable some text boxes and a combobox to show the selected data. I have not issue loading from the DB into the text boxes but the combo box has me a bit stumped. I have 3 columns in the database, periodno, start date and end date. I want to display the start and end date concatenated together. When the user selects a period and hits the button I want the dates to set a variable with the periodno that matches those dates.

Let's say I bound a combobox to a datatable. How can I get the valuemember of the currently selected item in the combobox (for example, when I have to save the data, I need to get the valuemember - PatronTypePK - of the currently selected item in cmbPatronType)? And can anyone check if I made the code correctly or if there are any programming practice errors/inconsistencies? I wanted to fetch two tables into a single dataset (Patron, PatronType). Do I have to make a datatable for each, or can I simply use the dataadapter?[code]...

I am trying to make a very simple thing (I think) but cannot manage. Here is the scene:I have one combobox and one picture box in my form. The idea is that, when combobox selects "john", the picture box should show the photo from the resources with name "john" or "john.jpg". Here is the code I have:
PictureBox1.Image = DirectCast(My.Resources.ResourceManager.GetObject(CStr(Me.ListBox1.SelectedItem)), Image)
The problem is, it does not work; neither it gives an error.

this code
Me.vendorLookup.DataSource = vendorBAL_C.vendorTable

Makes the combobox have a list of Names (simpleid) and PK (vendorid)
How do you make the combobox also be bound to a specific row of a record in an "case management" table? I've already used the datasource for a table of vendors - right?Or is this where I put two tables into a DATASET and make that be the DATASOURCE?

I have a program that needs to display a playlist of songs, for a band performing someplace, from a .txt file. The songs in the file are listed as follows:
All You Need is Love-Beatles
Rock
4.25
[code]....
The first line is the song's title and group name. The second is the songs genre. The third line is the songs length, 4.25 is 4 minutes and 25 seconds.upon clicking a button, I need to display a playlist from this .txt file based on the number of minutes the band has to play, minutes entered into a TextBox, and the songs genre, selected from a ComboBox. The songs cannot repeat and must be random.I have already coded the program to read the .txt file but have not clue where to start with the rest.
