I want to insert data to a table in SQL DB.I have a combo box with the values "5" and "6". When you click one or the other in the combo box i want these values to be inserted in a database( MS SQL Server 2008).I also have some textboxes which are bind correnctly and have no problem. The problem is with the bindings(i guess) of the combo box. I get sql exception.
Here is a snippet.
Private Sub BindFields()
txtSurname.DataBindings.Add("Text", ObjDataView, "surname")
txtName.DataBindings.Add("Text", ObjDataView, "name")

Dim objDataTable1 As DataTable
Dim objDataTable2 As DataTable
Dim objDataAdapter1 As OleDbDataAdapter

This is where I call the code, in the procedure code of the application
cmdIns.Parameters.AddWithValue("@DELAY_CAUSE_1", glbDelayCause1)
and this is the parameter that I am calling.For some reason this method does not work. I get an error saying that it expects a parameter @DELAY_CAUSE_1 which is not supplied. I check my procedure code and everything is matching up. Am I missing something here? Sorry that I haven't provided more into but the short question is how do I add the value of a combobox that has been selected? I just want to enter the number of the value selected into the table. But the combobox list will display the string.

In VB6 datacombobox there was a property that you could set that filtered the item list as you typed in the combo box (extended matching I think it was called) so that as the user typed more characters in the box the filtering progressively narrowed down the number of items in the list.The .net control does not seem to have this facility, or does it?Do we have to programatically do it now?

I might be coming up with a few dumb questions over the next few weeks because I am trying to push myself to learn VB 2008. So I think this is the first.I have figured out how to get a datareader to pull data from a MySQL database, pass it from a module back to my form, but when I try to put it in a combobox, the text is always left-aligned. I had never thought about this before because I think I have only ever put text in one before in VB6. However, this time it is numeric and left aligned numerics don't line up well when the numbers look like
1000
2500
20000

I would like to ask you a question about combo boxes . I want to insert a string into a combo box , but it seems I have a problem . First of all , let me specify that this combo box is set to only accept specific strings , which populate it when the form is loaded . Assuming that the combo box is located on Form1 , when it is loaded , this code is executed :
[Code]...
What is going wrong ? Is it that the combo box can not have that value because Form1 has not been loaded yet ? If that's the case what should I do ? I guess I could call the Load sub directly from Form2 in order to load Form1 , but I wouldn't like that because with the Load event some other code will run , which I don't want it to . So , is there any way to set my desired string into the combo box ?
I have a combo box on a form that is set to certain width. The data the combo varies and can be quite large. Is there a way that the combo box could be expanded to fit the widest data/text when the Combo is selected?It would be quite neat if it pop out of the form when selected! I guess I could create this effect by creating another form that opens when when that object is selected.
View 5 RepliesI have a Form with a Tab control on it, one of the fields is the Apartment number which is a Combobox. It is displaying properly, however since it sits on one of the tabs when you scroll through the records its hard to remember what tenant you are dealing with.
I have a label on the top of the screen that shows the Tenant First/Last Name.
I also want to at what Apartment Number they are looking at.
I currently am trying this: I have also tried:
SelectedItem

Column 0 of my combobox is the ID and Column 1 is the Text description.
