Hey all,

I am new to vb.NET, I have been doing ASP.NET(with VB) for a couple of years and this is my first windows app and I notice there are some differences.
The problem that I am having is that I fill a data set which has multiple tables, no problem with that. One of the tables contains colors for example. I have 5 combo boxes that bind to that colors table. The problem is that when I change the selection in one of the combo boxes, they ALL change to the same value? Why is this, how do I get around it? I am confused because ASP.NET does now behave this way

Someone, anyone? Anyone have any idea? Can anyone explain why the combo boxes behave this way?

hi there...

i dont know if this is true, but when you bound a combo to a dataset if you move one combo it will move the record position of the dataset, that will cause the other combo to move..

could be it???

Ok, that makes sense.

However is there any work around so that the combo boxes are independent?

using there not bounded????

For many of my applications I don't bind my comboboxes to my datasets. This is my personal preference and I am not saying that binding is not a good option. Instead I loop through the items in the dataset and add them to the combobox.

I have had some strange experiences when binding comboboxes, so I prefer the flexibility of just adding them and manipulating them without binding.

As such, I don't have the problem that you are referring to about all comboboxes changing when one is changed and I use one dataset with multiple tables.

Thanks. I will try your way next time.
