ComboBox

Administrator

How do you read an xml file and bind one column's data to the ComboBox in C#? Are there different ways of doing this? Thanks in advance!

Never deal with the xml, but I recently read something about the Multi-column ComboBox, it also mentioned the ComboBox data-binding, hope the following code can be a little help as reference:

protected override void OnLoad(EventArgs e)
{
    base.OnLoad(e);

    NwindDataSet nwindDataSet = new NwindDataSet();
    CustomersTableAdapter customersTableAdapter = new CustomersTableAdapter();
    customersTableAdapter.Fill(nwindDataSet.Products);
    this.ketticMultiColumnComboBox1.DataSource = nwindDataSet.Products;
    foreach (GridViewDataColumn column in
     this.ketticMultiColumnComboBox1.MultiColumnComboBoxElement.Columns)
    {
        column.BestFit();
    }
}

void SetUpGrid()
{
    KetticGridView gridViewControl = this.ketticMultiColumnComboBox1.EditorControl;
    gridViewControl.MasterTemplate.AutoGenerateColumns = false;
    gridViewControl.Columns.Add(new GridViewTextBoxColumn("ProductID"));
    gridViewControl.Columns.Add(new GridViewTextBoxColumn("ProductName"));
    gridViewControl.Columns.Add(new GridViewTextBoxColumn("Amount"));
    gridViewControl.Columns.Add(new GridViewTextBoxColumn("Price"));
}

Mahesh, Would you be so kind as to provide a working example of what this code would look like? string xmlFilePath = @"C:\Documents and Settings\erakovsky\My Documents\Visual Studio Projects\XML_Post\xml\RequestURL.xml"; ds.ReadXml(xmlFilePath,XmlReadMode.ReadSchema); .....???? Ultimately, what I am trying to accomplish is to bind URL data from an xml file to a combo box drop down. Thanks!

Fill an array or a DataTable from XML and bind it. There is no direct way to bind XML to a ComboBox.
