How to bind a combobox to a datasource?


Asked by Larry Duke on Dec 01, 2021 FAQ



In order to bind the ComboBox, you simply change the way you set the DataSource property to do the following: To support additional advanced cases where the underlying numeric value is needed, you can use a generic version of the ToList method. This method requires that the type argument be explicitly specified, like this:
Similarly,
Items are loaded in the ComboBox generally to be bound to a data source of the ComboBox. A The data source is bound to a ComboBox using the "DataSource" property. As per MSDN documentation, DataSource can be an object that implements the IList interface (such as a DataSet, DataTable, List, Array, and DataView). The default is null.
Consequently, Once our window is ready click on Toolbox under “All windows form” choose “ComboBox” and drag onto the window. Here we are binding the data from database table. Double click on window so we will get the window load method. Once class is created add the database connection method and method to retrieve data.
Also Know,
If we have a database as a data source, then we may use Table binding source as the data source for ComboBox. Display Member: This property from the data source is shown in the list as Items Collection of ComboBox. Value Member: This value is returned from the data source when Selected Value property of ComboBox is accessed.
In this manner,
Also we can populate a combo box from a dataset values. Bind data source to ComboBox. Select Item from ComboBox. The following VB.Net program fetch the values from database and store it in a dataset and later bind to a combobox.
