Public Class Class1
Public sub FillCombobox (ByVal cbo As Combobox, ByVal TableName As String , ByVal Col_name As String , ByVal Col_Value As String )
Try

Dim VarSql As String
VarSql = ""
VarSql = "Select " + Col_name + " , " + Col_Value + " From " + TableName + " "
Dim sda As New SqlDataAdapter(VarSql , SQLCon)
Dim ds As New Dataset ()

Use a bindingsource to fill up you combo box:-)...

Dim udtsqlcmd as string
udtsqlcmd = ("select * From Departments Where Dept_manage_ID= '" & CboEmp_manage.selectedindex.tostring & "' ")

Dim dr As SQLDatadReader
Dim cmd As New SqlCommand
cmd = New SqlCommand(udtsqlcmd, Class1.sqlcon)
dr = cmd.ExecuteReader
CboEmp_Dept.Items.Clear()
Do While dr.Read
CboEmp_Dept.Items.Add(dr.Item("Dept_Name"))
Loop
dr.Close()
Class1.sqlcon.Close()

You are trying to put all the code together my friend..learned to sergrate the code of specific function that they are trying to do..

Dim udtsqlcmd as string
udtsqlcmd = ("select * From Departments Where Dept_manage_ID= '" & CboEmp_manage.selectedindex.tostring & "' ")

are you sure this is correct??..

i guess you are trying to put the ID also in the combo box??

i that what you want??..

ok how can i do that

i want to filter cboemp_dept based on cboemp_manage

any help here

Try this logic

Public Class Form2

    Private Sub Form2_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load

        ComboBox1.Items.Add(New DataItem(1, "Male"))
        ComboBox1.Items.Add(New DataItem(2, "Female"))
    End Sub

    Private Sub ComboBox1_SelectedIndexChanged(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles ComboBox1.SelectedIndexChanged
        Dim DI As DataItem
        Dim MySex As Integer

        DI = ComboBox1.SelectedItem
        MySex = CInt(DI.Data)

        MsgBox(MySex)

    End Sub

End Class

And i created class here is it

Public Class DataItem

Private ID As Object
Private MySex As String

Public Property Data() As Object
    Get
        Data = ID
    End Get
    Set(ByVal value As Object)
        ID = value

    End Set
End Property
Public Property Sex() As String
    Get
        Sex = MySex
    End Get
    Set(ByVal value As String)
        MySex = value
    End Set
End Property

Public Overrides Function ToString() As String
    ToString = MySex
End Function

Sub New(Optional ByVal Data As Object = Nothing, Optional ByVal Text As String = "")

    MySex = Text
    ID = Data

End Sub

End Class

Actually i also found this logic here in daniWeb..
