Adding value pairs to a combo box

tebert2458 · June 6th, 2006, 05:24 PM

Hey all,

I'm working on a form that receives a list of system descriptions and system codes. I need to populate a combobox with these system descriptions and set the value to the system code. Does anyone have a quick way to do this?

Thanks!

Hi

There can be a lot of ways to fill in a combo box, but it depends how you are receiving the system descriptions and system codes. Please be a bit more specific, so that appropriate resolution is provided.

Regards

See the following examples I came across when I googled...

http://www.dotnetspider.com/resources/19530-Key-Value-Functionality-Combo-Box.aspx

In the first example you can access key/value using

KeyValuePair x = (KeyValuePair)listBox1.Items[listBox1.SelectedIndex];
MessageBox.Show(x.m_objKey.ToString());
MessageBox.Show(x.m_strValue.ToString());
