vb6 help

[Pgmer]

Hi all,
can anyone tell me how to write the .net code for vb6.setitemdata for combobox or listbox item?

[AndreRet]

There is no such thing as vb6.setitemdata.

You need to give us more information on what you mean.:)

Hi AndreRet,

Im converting some vb6 code to vb.net. in some places we are using
vb6.setitemdata(combobox,Combobox.selectedindex,Value)
i want to write the Equivalant code. basically i dont know vb6 much.

[AndreRet]

I have asked the moderators to move this to vb.Net. I'm sure you will get the solution there. There is a fair amount of change in the code you need from vb6 to .net.:)

I will in the interim see if I can work towards a solution here.

Hope this is what you are looking for -

Private Sub ReadData()
        Dim i As Integer
        Dim cmdUser As New SqlCommand
        Dim daUser As New SqlDataAdapter
        Dim dsUser As New DataSet
        Dim dtUser As New DataTable
        Dim conn As SqlConnection
 
        conn = GetConnect()
        Try
 
            cmdUser = conn.CreateCommand
            cmdUser.CommandText = "SELECT * FROM User"
            daUser.SelectCommand = cmdUser
            daUser.Fill(dsUser, "User")
            dtUser = dsUser.Tables("User")
            For i = 0 To dtUser.Rows.Count - 1
                cmbUserId.Items.Add(dtUser.Rows(i).Item(0))
            Next
 
        Catch ex As Exception
            MsgBox("Error: " & ex.Source & ": " & ex.Message, MsgBoxStyle.OKOnly, "Error conection!!")
        End Try
        conn.Close()
    End Sub

cmbUserId.Items.Add(dtUser.Rows(i).Item(0))
this code will adapted with your database, in mydatabase id user in item(0) / first coloumn

Thanks for reply,
Im adding the items to combo using objects.
I just want to know what is vb6.Setitemdata will do?
i think it just Sets the valuemember of combobox at perticular index.

Thanks.

[AndreRet]

I never worked with this before. In vb6 you could set the ItemData in the properties, which is not supported in vb.net though. I am as clueless as you here.;)

Have a look at THIS thread from MS, maybe it will help.

what your code in vb6 for vb6.Setitemdata?

[Pgmer]

VB6.SetItemData(combobox1, combobox1.Items.Count - 1, False)

This is the code i need to convert. is this code setting the valuemember of combobox at the perticlaur index?

[Jx_Man]

.NET Combo Box or list box doesn't support item data. You can create your own class if you want to keep using SetItemData.
