So i currently have two combo boxes. One Being Manufacture the other being model. My sql query looks like this "Select Distinct Model From sheet1 where (Manufacture =@Manufacture)" this works when i execute it and if i were to fill a datagridtable. But if i try to place this into a combobox i get System.data.d...... etc for my selections. How can i just have it show the values instead of all this. What am i doing wrong?
private void ManuComboBox_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
string manu = comboBox3.Text;
string conStr = "Data Source=CA-INVDEV\\RISEDB01;Initial Catalog=RISEDB01; Integrated Security=True";
string sqlcmd = "SELECT DISTINCT Model FROM Sheet1 WHERE (Manufacture =@Manufacture)";
using (SqlConnection conn = new SqlConnection(conStr))
{
SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand(sqlcmd, conn);
cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@Manufacture", manu);
SqlDataReader dr = cmd.ExecuteReader();
if (dr.HasRows)
{
dr.Close();
SqlDataAdapter dataAdapter = new SqlDataAdapter(cmd);
SqlCommandBuilder commandBuilder = new SqlCommandBuilder(dataAdapter);
DataTable table = new DataTable();
table.Locale = System.Globalization.CultureInfo.InvariantCulture;
dataAdapter.Fill(table);
bindingSource3.DataSource = table;
ModelComboBox.DataSource = bindingSource3;
}
}
}
Can you give this a try?
using (SqlConnection conn = new SqlConnection(conStr))
{
conn.Open();
SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand(sqlcmd, conn);
cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@Manufacture", manu);
SqlDataReader dr = cmd.ExecuteReader();
IList<string> modelList = new List<string>()
while (dr.Read())
{
modelList.add(dr[0].ToString());
}
ModelComboBox.DataSource = modelList;
}
