Question

Hi guys,

I think there should a control like databound list control of vb6 in vb.net windows form application too which can show up data from database.

I have confused and staring my database applications in vb.net....

so can you suggest which control can be used?

Answer 1

You can also bind lists in VB.Net, see the (DataBindings) field.

Answer 2

Both List control and combobox control can be used for it. for that we need to set the datasource property and refresh it.

like

cmbbox.datasource = arraylist("item 1","item 2", "item 3") cmbbox.refresh();
