VS2010 Populate ComboBox From Text File?

Mar 31, 2012

I have created a simple conversion program, I have two comboBoxes that are populated by a text file called 'data.txt'. It all works perfectly apart from when i have the squared units in it, instead of getting the '�' symbol that is in the text file, i get a diamond shape with a question mark inside.

I would think that you must have to put some sort of code before the squared symbol in the text file, but I cannot figure it out.

HTML
Public Sub DataLoad(ByVal Switch As String)
Dim tfLines() As String = System.IO.File.ReadAllLines("data.txt") ' File to load.
For Each line As String In tfLines ' Load and read all lines in file.

Populate Combobox Text With Query Result

Mar 4, 2010

I have 2 tables: locations and depot:[code]I have 2 forms, frm1 and frm2. Frm1 has a combobox, cboLocations which pulls from the Locations table. Frm2 has textboxes which populate based upon the location selected from cboLocations on frm1. Frm2 also has a combobox, cboDepot, which pulls from the Depot table.So far, I've been able to get cboDepot to populate with the first depot_refnbr. This is not the corresponding depot_refnbr that matches with the selected Location; it is just the first depot_refnbr in the Depot table.I need to populate cboDepot's text property with the depot_name, and not the depot_refnbr that corresponds with the Location selected on frm1 from cboLocations.Frm1 has a button, and I'm not sure if I'd have to code this in the button click event, the cboLocation_Selected IndexChanged event, or in frm2's load event.

How To Populate ComboBox From INI File

Jan 12, 2010

I can understand since .ini files are pretty outdated, but I'll explain. I have a combo box, and inside the combobox I want it to display the names in a section of the .ini file. So say my .ini file contains the following:

[SECTION1]
Name = Billy
Lastname = Bob

Inside the combobox I wan't it to display the items "Name ", and "Lastname " only, not the section or the values.

Populate Text Property And Items Of Combobox Not Using Databinding?

May 12, 2010

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 =

Populate ComboBox With Comma Separated Values From INI File

I'm attempting to add comma delimited values to a combobox. The problem is I do not know if this is the best way to split the values into the combobox. Is there a more cleaner/efficient way to do this?:

Dim toread As String
toread = ini.ReadValue("Schools", "Schools")
Dim textdelimiter As String
textdelimiter = ","
Dim splitout = Split(toread, textdelimiter)

Create Log File To Track Progress And Populate Controls Via Text File Or XML File?

May 22, 2009

I am trying to create a log file which I am going to use to populate some controls (DataGridView or Treeview). I am trying to figure out if should use text files or XML files to do so. Effectively the log will highlight multiple phases in a client-side app. The log will be written to at various phases when the project is running. The user will always have the options move on to the next phase or save progress and exit the project. As such, I want the log file to highlight how far the user has progressed throught the various phases AND I want the log to highlight varous information from each phase. Whenever the user starts the project, they will be given the option to load existing log files. So the project will have to read these log files and append them where necessary as the user progresses.

I am not sure what the best way to do this is and below is a rudimentary approach using text files. As you can see, the top of the file would have a summary of all the phases and whether or not the user completed each phase. Next each phase would have a data section highlighting what data was stored along the way. I have used a ":" to denote each section. Then within each section I would obviously need to use a delimeter for all my data. So if Phase1 = True, then I would load all the pertinent data from "Phase1:" into the desired control. Can anyone provide an efficient way of doing this and provide some insight as to whether I should use XML instead. The phases my change during development and I am not sure yet which controls I will be using. Does XML provide more flexibility.

In summary I am looking to create, read/write and append log files and populate controls with the data in varous sections of the log file. Example:

Phase1 = True
Phase2 = True
Phase3 = False
Phase4 = False

Wpf - Populate ComboBox Based On Another ComboBox Using XAML?

Jul 29, 2011

I have two ComboBoxes

<ComboBox Name="cmbMake" DisplayMemberPath="MakeName" SelectedValuePath="MakeID"/>

I use LINQ-to-Entities to populate the cmbGroup ComboBox

Dim db as myDataEntity

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?

Populate Combo Box Or List Box From Text File?

Dec 26, 2010

I'm trying to populate a List Box or Combo Box (either or, I feel like both would be very similar in how the code is written) when you load the form. Here is what I have right now:

<a href="http://s2.photobucket.com/albums/y11/funkyfries222/?action=view&current=ForumHelp.png" target="_blank"><img src="http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y11/funkyfries222/ForumHelp.png" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a>

When you first open the program it gives you a form with either a list box or combo box (not sure which one I want to use yet) and then an add button to add a name to the list. It shows the from where you enter a name and then when you add a name it adds it to a text file that I have saved onto the desktop. It keeps the names on separate lines and I want each line in the text file to be an item in a list box...

Here is the code for the first form:

Public Class frmEmployeesMeat
Private Sub frmEmployeesMeat_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
frmHours.Visible = False

Populate Combobox From Selection Of Another Combobox?

Jan 1, 2012

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

Automate A Process - Open A Website And Navigate Through It - Enter File Name And Path - Not Populate The Text

Feb 2, 2009

I am trying to automate a process I do with a bank with vb.net. Basically I need to open a website and navigate through it (Automatically through the program obviously), enter a batch ID and enter a file path and name. For some reason when I get to the part where I need to enter the file name and path, it simply will not populate the text. I have attached a word document with screenshots and code. The only difference I can see, is that in the bank website's code the the input type for the file text is "FILE" rather than "TEXT" as it is for the batch id...
