what is the Windows Form version of a Drop Down List? I would think a Combo Box, but that only seems to have a Text for the Items, not Text/Value (with Value being my primary key for the table I'm populating it from).
View 2 RepliesI'm trying to find a dropdown-style list for images I can use in a program of mine. It's fairly simple, just needs to display a few images in a grid with tooltips for each one, and I need to be able to get whichever one was last picked. For example,[URL] without the tab bar in it. Unfortunately my monetary budget is zero which means I can't purchase any controls?
View 2 RepliesI've got an MDI form with child forms that I'd like to refactor to a single form with a tab control containing child controls, in order to move away from MDI clunkiness. When looking at converting the child forms into child controls (or usercontrols), I do see that I'd lose the FormClosing event, which some of the child forms use.
I can override Dispose to handle some of the functionality, but in some cases I'd like to cancel the closing event. Also, I'd like this event to be called before the control is closed even when the form it's on isn't closing, so wiring the control to the form's closing event isn't an option.

Does anyone know if it is possible to make a drop down list control (when clicked) list its contents above the item, rather than below? Effectively, I need a drop up list rather than a drop down list...

I am trying to add multiple files to FTP server by dragging and dropping and I am able to do that using try catch block and if we give the ftp settings correctly it takes 1 sec to upload them but when we give wrong details it hangs up and dosen't give me any error message though If I give an exceptional message.
Now I am getting error message as well as success message for every file I add.I do not want that to be happen.where should I give messages for success and failure so that it should take few seconds for uploading and if not should give me a message immediately.

I have used VB (versions 2 - 6) through many years; however, I am crash-course training myself into the VB2008 / VB2010 world kicking a screaming. I would like suggestions as to what SQL database access method should I focus more on in my learning process without making me feel that I'm a million years behind. I know I have WinForms where I can create a datasourse and drag / drop fields or tables on a form to create a grid (not really what I'm looking for).
My trouble isn't so much designing the form but in how I access the database. Theres XML, LINQ to SQL, ADO.NET, and many other methods. Not only do I need to grasp these methods quickly but I also need to know what type of projects I should create. What I mean is...I was thinking that I would design a WinForm app; however, I see that there are WPF apps and others to chose from. This is getting deep. I know it depends on the project that I'm working on. My plans are to write an app based off of either an SQL Express 2008 or SQL Server 2008 database. This first app will be standalone for now but may later become multi-user. I know I'm far behind on my learning curve coming from VB6. I have read a bit on VB2005 / 2008 / 2010. I own
both VB2008 and VB2010. I use VB2008 at work. I know ADO.NET is still alive but by what I read online, it's a dying method and is only kept for backward compatibility. XML and LINQ to SQL and other methods are all pretty new to me.
Below is the code that I'm using in ms access to list the data according to what is selected in combobox and what is input in textbox.
My problem is there no commandbuilder in ms sql like in ms access, because it fails when I try:
dim mscombuilder as new sqlcommandbuilder
Here is the code:
''#list school
If ComboBox1.SelectedItem = "School" Then
Dim connectionString As String = "Data Source=SENBONZAKURASQLEXPRESS;Initial Catalog=testing;User ID=SenbonZakuraRew; Trusted_Connection=True;"
[Code].....
-There is no such thing as commandbuilder in the options that will appear. Do you know of any alternative of commandbuilder in ms sql?

I am trying to compare a calculated date with a value in a dropdown list. The value is a date.toString.This is what I have so far:
Dim sched = scheduleDateVal.toString("d"
If Holidays.Items.Contains(New ListItem(sched.ToString("d"))) Then
ScheduleDate.Text = scheduleDateVal.AddDays(1).toString("d")
End If
Holidays is a dropdown list bound to a database so that I can add a day to a scheduledate if it happens to fall on a holiday. This works if I add a string value to sched rather than converting scheduledateval to a string.
I'm creating a simulation programe. In one sheet I have a group of cells (AngleConf) that have a drop down list. I would like to make some operations when I change the value of one of these cells. It always works when I insert the new value manually. But it doesn't always works when I change it by selecting the value from the list. I supose that that happens because of some option that I change while I'm working but I can't find out witch one exactly.The code that I think that its implicated:

My dropdownlist is set to databine like this...
dt = dal.FillDataTable(SqlConnectionString, "SELECT SQL Query Statement")
dropdownlist1.datasource = dt
dropdownlist1.datatextfield = dt.columns.item(0).tostring
dropdownlist1.databind()
This is turn populates my dropdownlist, when a user selects a value, it is then populated to the remaining textboxes on the remaining forms with a session call...
dropdownlist2.add(ctype(session.item("valOne"), String))
Through this session it populates the one value, is it possible to display the selected value but also include all other dropdownlist items in case they want to change thier selection?

View 1 RepliesIs using Public Property the best way to achieve the following.From a drop down combobox, a list of options are available. Each option in the combobox has a number of public properties that need to be associated with it.When a option is selected, the user will then have two buttons that each call a different sub, the appropriate options are passed to the sub.Each option will always have the same properties required to be passed.So I'm looking at something like this.

View 2 RepliesI have created a drop-down list box that holds 8 numbers representing a month span (3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 25 months). In order to prevent users from typing just anything into the text box above the combo box, I changed it to a drop-down listbox. The other requirement that I was hoping to implement was for the user to be able to type a number, after which the selection would jump to the appropriate item (i.e. the user types in '1', and the selection jumps to 12). This partially works. It will jump to 12, for example, but immediately after the user types the '1', the Selected Index event changes. The user cannot scroll down or up after typing in a number.

I have multiple drop down lists on a page. They all contain list of countries. So in the background I am getting countries from database and caching them. I would like to populate those drop down lists from another thread. I am also using AJAX controls so I wanted that it all happens at the same time. And also after a user selects a country I want that towns from that country show to the user, and I want that getting towns happens also in another thread so that user can fill other controls while the list is not yet loaded.
I have read somewhere that I should give Page as a parameter to that thread and then find that drop down lists and populate them. But that is not working.
Here is a function that is called when another thread starts:
protected void GetCountries(object o)
