i am having a combobox . i need the user to select something before he can save or do any other operations.

i searched the net i didn't get good examples...

could anyone please help me out in this....

hi

u just do the following in the save button click event

  if(combobox.text != "")
 {
   //code for saving informations
}
else
{
messagebox("Please select an item in combo");
}

thank you for your suggestion.

I am planning to keep my save button disables until the selections are made.

So i would like to know which event "SelectedValueChanged" or "TextChanged" would be appropriate for this...

"SelectedIndexChanged" is used to display the values in other combobox as per selection in the first....

thanks

hi,

if u use any of the event, after u just click on the combobox the button will get enabled. so textchanged event will be better.

 u check in the save button itself before data get into the database

Thanks

i found it ,it's better to do it in Validating event and check the selected item is null.
