Combobox show | Select value
Blue 1
Sample de Listbox of the Visual Web Developer you can add items with (Value to show,value to select)
A ComboBox stores objects, not just strings. You can store your own object; override the ToString() method to generate the text the user will see. Here’s an example:
public partial class Form1 : Form <
// Content item for the combo box
private class Item <
public string Name;
public int Value;
public Item(string name, int value) <
Name = name; Value = value;
>
public override string ToString() <
// Generates the text shown in the combo box
return Name;
>
>
public Form1() <
InitializeComponent();
// Put some stuff in the combo box
comboBox1.Items.Add(new Item("Blue", 1));
comboBox1.Items.Add(new Item("Red", 2));
comboBox1.Items.Add(new Item("Nobugz", 666));
>
private void comboBox1_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs e) <
// Display the Value property
Item itm = (Item)comboBox1.SelectedItem;
Console.WriteLine("<0>, <1>", itm.Name, itm.Value);
>
>
What does it mean comboBox1.Items.Add(new Item("Blue", 1)); ? I know that Items.Add can add a new item to the list but (new Item("Blue",1)) I didn’t understand it. Please help me cuz I’m in need !! I want to add a new item but I wanna change the value instead BLUE I wanna to have 1..
Everything is possible, nothing is impossible. Just try and you will find that.
That’s a part of my code ::
MaConnexion.Open()
Dim MaCommande As New SqlCommand
Dim MonDataReader As SqlDataReader
MaCommande = MaConnexion.CreateCommand
MaCommande.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure
MaCommande.CommandText = "SP_ListeGroupeParCentre"
MaCommande.Parameters.Add("@IdC", SqlDbType.Int).Value = IdCentre ‘ Don’t worry I have this integer !!
MonDataReader = MaCommande.ExecuteReader
Do While MonDataReader.Read
Cmb_NomG.Items.Add(New Item(MonDataReader("NomGroupe"), MonDataReader("IdGroupe")))
‘Cmb_NomG.Items.Add(MonDataReader("IdGroupe"))
‘Cmb_NomG.Items.Add(MonDataReader("NomGroupe"))
Loop
MonDataReader.Close()
Public Class Item
Public Name As String
Public Value As Integer
Public Sub New(N As String, V As Integer)
Name = N
Value = V
End Sub
Public Overrides Function ToString() As String
Return Value
End Function
End Class
Everything is possible, nothing is impossible. Just try and you will find that.

CASE 1 — You don’t have a data-source:
You can just populate the ComboBox with static values as follows —
- from XAML:
- from CodeBehind — 1:
- from CodeBehind — 2:
CASE 2 — You have a data-source, and the items never get changed:
You can use the data-source to populate the ComboBox . Any IEnumerable type can be used as a data-source. You can —
- bind the ItemsSource property in XAML to the data-source like —
- assign data-source to the ItemsSource property in the code-behind, like —
CASE 3 — You have a data-source, and the items might get changed
- You should use an ObservableCollection<T> as the data-source
- You should bind the ItemsSource property in XAML to the data-source (as shown above)
- You can assign data-source to the ItemsSource property in the code-behind (as shown above)
Using an ObservableCollection<T> ensures that whenever an item is added to or removed from the data-source, the change will reflect immediately on the UI. It’s up to you how you populate the ObservableCollection<T> .
