Set Bound Combobox Based On Value Of ValueMember?
Jan 25, 2010
I am using a bound combobox control in a vb.net application. How do I set the combo box to an item if I know the value of the ValueMember, but I don't know the DisplayMember. I can use the FindExactString method if I know the DisplayMember, but not if I only know the ValueMember.In explanation, the value member is an employee Number, the display member is the Name. I get the employee number from a detail item in another table and now I want to set the combobox to display the Name that goes with that detail item.
Can someone post some vb code to show how to do this.

I have DataGridViewCombobox column in my winform. i have bound that comboboxcolumn from database by setting its DataSource, DisplayMember and ValueMember property.
i want to set DisplayMember based on ValueMember. just like we do in normal combobox like
Combobox.SelectedValue = "12"
I tried following
gridAttendance.Rows[0].cells[2].value = dsAttendance.Tables[0].Rows[0]["Id"].ToString();
but it doesn't work...
"It throws an error saying datagridviewcomboboxcell value is not value"
i also tried handling DataError event of GridView, but still it doesn't work

box withing a modal form. The combobox shows a list of ingredients where the displaymember is the IngredientName and the valuemember is the IngredientID, and a user would select an ingredient in the combobox and the returning value would be the ID for that ingredient. My issue is that within this same datagridview, i'd like to prepopulate it with items already existing in the database. However i'd like to set the display value in the combobox using the id value from the database. So if "Pasta" was the ingredient name and 101 was the ID, i'd set the value as 101 and it display Pasta in the combobox.
Here's what i have so far:
For Each row As ListViewItem In listIngView.Items
Dim i As Integer = dgvIngEdit.Rows.Add()

I've got an Access 2007 table with names of people and the unique ID # of their sponsoring agencies. There is a second table in the accdb with the sponsoring agencies and their unique ID #. How do I display the actual agency name, and not the ID #, in a combobox?
What I want to see is this:
John Doe ABC Corporation (John Doe in textbox, ABC in combo)
The results I'm getting is this however:
John Doe 10
I'm using the code below to display the agency and name. I know this is not the right code but don't know what other code to use.
DirectCast(e.DataRepeaterItem.Controls("cboSponsoringAgency"),
ComboBox).Text
= currItem("SponsoringAgencyID").ToString

I can use this code to set the DisplayMember, but the ValueMemeber is always the name of the field and not the field values. I can even reverse and put the ID in the DisplayMember and it works. Not sure what I'm missing here.
strSQL =
"SELECT LGGrpMainID, LGGrpMainName FROM LGGroupMain "

I can create a combobox with autocomplete and it works fine. However I want to return a code value instead of the description much the same as a normal combobox where there is a displaymember and a valuemember. Is this possible?

I have an editable ComboBox with a validation on the Text property to make sure manually entered info is valid.EDIT: All I want to do is populate the .Text property with the ValueMember of a selection rather than the DisplayMember I also have the .Items populated with valid entries having the DisplayMember and ValueMember set.My DisplayMember is a caption along with the data, and the ValueMember is the data itself.So Items might be:
(DisplayMember, ValueMember)
"Foo - 1ab2" , "1ab2"
"Bar - 3cd4" , "3cd4"
I had a validation on the text which can also validate manual user input like "5ef6" The problem I'm having is that if the user selects an item from the combobox it populates the text field with the DisplayMember property (ex: "Foo - 1ab2") which will fail validation.I have tried to manually set the .Text property with the SelectedValue or the SelectedItem.Value on each of the three relevant combobox events to no avail.I would like that the .Text of the ComboBox get populated with the .ValueMember of the item when selected rather than the .DisplayMember
EDIT: I cannot validate by trying to extrapolate the value from the caption. I send the Text off to a service to be validated.
void FillMyCombo
{
KeyValuePair<string, string> listValue1 = new KeyValuePair<string, string>("Foo - 1ab2" , "1ab2")
KeyValuePair<string, string> listValue2 = new KeyValuePair<string, string>("Bar - 3cd4" , "3cd4")
[code].....
The user can manually enter something like "5ef6" which will pass validation.But when they select an item from the list, rather than manually entering it, the .Text property gets filled with the caption and not the value ... so it will contain "Foo - 1ab2" and that will fail validation. I cannot change the validation method to "infer" the value from the caption. I have no control over that service. All I'm after is the displayed value EDIT: Say a user selects "Foo - 1ab2" from the dropdown list, I want the text in the box to say "1ab2" EDIT: I have also tried to set the .Text property in code but I can't seem to make it work in any of the ComboBox events. how to programmaticly set the .Text property (and make it commit!) on a selection event they will also answer this question.

I have a form with some textboxes on it. The textboxes show values from a table. I have a binding navigator that lets you step through the records in the table and the textboxes update. What I want, is to have a control, say a listbox, that allows you to select a value which will filter the data behind the controls so that you only have one record.
So, for example, say you have a table of contacts. There are textboxes on your form that show name, phone, address etc. You could then have a listbox that showed a list of all the contacts and you could select one, which would in turn the textboxes. The filtering field could be contactID for example.

I am new to vb.net and I am using visual studio 2010. I have two comboboxes on a form, each combobox is set to DropDownList so that a list of items can show in the combobox, but no text is allowed to be entered.
For combobox A, if user chooses item 1, the list of combobox B should be updated accordingly. I think this is quite common on a lot of applications. But I do not know to implement it. I even do not know the keyword to search for the relevant property or event handler.

I have two ComboBoxes
<ComboBox Name="cmbMake" DisplayMemberPath="MakeName" SelectedValuePath="MakeID"/>
<ComboBox Name="cmbModel" DisplayMemberPath="ModelName"/>
I use LINQ-to-Entities to populate the cmbGroup ComboBox
Dim db as myDataEntity
cmbGroup.ItemsSource = db.Makes
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?
