Get Item Value From A Combobox Using A Datatable As It's Datasource?
May 20, 2010
How can I get an item value from a Combobox using a datatable as it's datasource? Here's my code for constructing the combobox. This code works, that's why I'm not showing it all, but I want you to know how I'm creating the combobox.
Try
query = "SELECT category_id, name FROM categories ORDER BY name ASC;"
dbCommand = New MySqlCommand(query, dbConnection)
[Code]....
I want to display what is the item you physically see in the combobox that you select.
I am using code similar to this to populate a combobox with items from a database. The display works fine, but when I try to get the combobox.SelectedValue it is returning a DataRowView, where I need an integer. Obviously this is becuase I haven't casted the value to an integer, but the function, CInt(cboPosition.SelectedValue) is throwing an InvalidCastException. Is there any way that I can get the ValueMember's type to be an Integer?
Dim cn As New SqlConnection(CreditDisputesLogConn) Dim cmd As New SqlCommand("CustomersLookup", cn) Dim da As New SqlDataAdapter(cmd)
I have binded a datatable to a combobox, using DataSource, DisplayMember and ValueMember properties. Now I try to set the combobox to a preset value using comboBox.SelectedValue = value. Nothing happens however.
I could hard-code in the column names ("WO_Number",WO_CustID","CustLastName", etc...), but would prefer to pick this up dynamically (partly because I want to reuse this code later).
I have a datagridview bound to a datatable setting its datasource property to the datatable. I would like to have a child form that contains a list of columns associated with the datatable that contains a checkbox that will allow the user to hide and show the columns ( I do not know the best control to use here) (I assume this is the easy part as All i need to do is loop through each of the datatable's columns to get the column name)
now I would like save these visible columns on some event like form_closing so that the next time the user opens the form up it will remember the settings
I have a datatable that has a resource in one field and hours used in another, it looks like this -
Resource Hours Used Manager 1 Accountant 1 Field Staff 2 Accountant 3 Manager 4 Manager 1 Administrator 6 Field Staff 4 Manager 0.5 Administrator 1
What I want to do is be able to create a summary of the data table above that groups multiple occurrences of a resource and adds up the hours used for that resource, creating a summary that looks like this -
Resource Hours Used Manager 6.5 Accountant 4 Field Staff 6 Administrator 7
using vb.net/asp.net 2008question: i found this c# code snippet and wondering how do you do this in vb.net?DataTable dataTable = gridview.DataSource as DataTable;
I have a datasource attached to an Access DB. I have a problem if I remove a datatable from my datasource(which contains lots of datatables). I have to manually remove the reference to that datatable from the designer file for each form that uses the dataset.
Can you tell me how to syncronise the a DataSource when inserting a new row into a DataTable? [code]The user enters values in the Textboxes and clicks a save button.At that point I get a concurrency violation when using .Update to get the new row into the database.Can you tell me if I need to add any more code to synchronise everything?
Let's say that I have a DataGridView(myDGV) which I populate as follows:
'... Dim strSQL as String = "SELECT col1,col2,col3 FROM myTable" '.... myda.Fill(myDtb) myDGV.DataSource = myDtb. 'The above code fills the DGV with data from the underlying query 'of the DataTable.
'Supposing that I want to add an unbound Column to the end of the DGV which appears together with the data returned by the query, is it possibe?
i need to query the datatable & set the outcome as datagridview controls datasource
vb.net Private Sub Txt_Search_TextChanged(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Txt_Search.TextChanged 'routine objective:- Filter datatable & set the datagridview datasource
I have a base form and I am trying to get the DataSource of the ActiveControl if the control is a datagridview.What I have so far is:
Dim curControl As Control = Me.ActiveControl Dim ControlType As String = curControl.GetType.ToString() If ControlType = "System.Windows.Forms.DataGridView" Then
I want to know how to perform row delete to datatable which is a datasource to the grid.
In details: I have a datagridview (dg) and its datasource is set to dtItem. User will select some rows in dg and press 'delete' button.
dg.DataSource = dtItem;
I will perform a loop and delete the records. Here is the code eg:
foreach (DataGridViewRow drw in dg.Rows) { if (drw.Selected)
[Code]....
The problem is it didn't delete correctly. If user selects row index 0 and 1 in dg and delete it, it will delete the first one correctly and then finished cuz no more row is selected in next gridviewrow.
I tried google and didn't find what I want. may be because i don't know the correct keywords I should use to search.

I have defined a datagrid which has combobox in one of the columns, is there anyway to modify the datasource of the combobox (the source of the list) at run time?
I am trying to get the valuemember of my combobox but it just won't work. I have tried a lot of things (won't post them all here) can somebody just show me how to do this?

I have a ComboBox that is bound to a List(of T).Now I type-cast the ComboBox.DataSource into List(of T)and add some more elements in the List.The items collection of the ComboBox doesnt get reflected and the new element does not show up in the ComboBox. Am I missing something ?

The combobox just populates with "System.Data.DataRowView" I know it is some command to read the correct data out of the table, is it setting up something like:
dim i as integer for i = 0 to CompanyNames.length-1 companyadapter.fill(companynames.rows(i)] next
just curious what happens when i set the datasource of a combobox or datagrid or what-not to a dt then when i want to change what's in the combobox etc., i just set the datasource to a new one. i am cleaning as i go but just want to know what happens to the old datasource:
I have a combobox which i am binding to a sortedDictionary list, so it displays in ascending order. My question is, I need to display "--Select--" as the first option. Is there any way to either:

I have a combo box with "yes" and "no" with i select Yes i want the label2 to change the text to "yes" likewise with "no"

I am trying to use datasource and bind in my application to set a dropdown list to the results of a query. The dropdownlist populates correctly (shows each different type_name in the set) but later when I use ddltype.selectedvalue - I am always getting the value from the first item in the dataset. Here is the code.
I have to add item "Final Grade" to my cboQuarter. The thing is, my cboQuarter already has a datasource and I can't add the item "Final Grade" during drop-down. The error says, "cannot modify or insert (can't remember word by word) when it already has a datasource."
