Hi.

I'm getting the strangest error, and it's frustrating me to no end.
This is extremely urgent as I HAVE to have everything working before the end of this day.

Problem:

When I try and populate a combobox, I get the error "Cannot find Table 0".

Firstly I attempted to set the combobox's Datasource property to an ArrayList (The ArrayList checks out, nothing wrong there.)
I got above mentioned error.
After that, I decided to loop through the arraylist and add each item
basically . cmbBox.Items.Add(alList[iX].ToString())
What happened then is that the combobox Text property was empty.
So naturally I added a line which set the text property to the first item in the combobox's item list. (Yes as text)
Same error occurs.

I can only think that is one of microsoft's endless list of screwups. The fact remains that I cannot show our prototype with an error popping up.

Please please please help me. How does one fix this?
Is there perhaps a way to switch that error off?

Any help would be of great value to me.

Thank you.

Anybody?? :(

When you are using the cmbBox.Items.Add(alList[iX].ToString()) approach, are you sure that you removed the DataSource property. Moreover, have u set the DataSource property of the combobox to something in the designer?

Pls post the section of code where you populate the combobox items.

If you program works well despite the error, then to "turn the error off", try placing the code in a try-catch block and not doing anything if you "catch".

Hi,

we encountered the same problem and this is how we managed to populate correctly the combobox.

Imagine you have a class named Dog_Race

The class contain some arguments
public string race_name
public int race_id
Your constructor looks like that
public Dog_Race()
{

}
You have to create another constructor

public Dog_Race(int idrace, string namerace)
{
    this.race_name=namerace;
    this.race_id = idrace;

}

Now, you have to create getter and setter
public int getIdRace()
{
   return(this.race_id);
}
public string getNameRace()
{
   return(this.race_name);
}
public override string ToString()
{
   return this.getNameRace();
}


That's for the Dog_Race class
Now, how to populate the combobox using it :

//for example
MyCombobox.items.add(new Dog_Race(0,'MyRaceName'));

And, how to get the values from Combobox
int dograceid = ((Dog_Race)MyCombobox.selectedItem).getIdRace();
int dogracename = ((Dog_Race)MyCombobox.selectedItem).getNameRace();


Hope it'll help you
