How do i bind a combobox to a sqlite database ?

In the database there a some table's but i want to bind the combobox to "Zeeboot"


namespace Notes.Data
{
    public class NoteDatabase
    {
        readonly SQLiteAsyncConnection _database;

        public NoteDatabase(string dbPath)
        {
            _database = new SQLiteAsyncConnection(dbPath);
            _database.CreateTableAsync<Note>().Wait();
        }

        public Task<List<Note>> GetNotesAsync()
        {
            return _database.Table<Note>().ToListAsync();
        }

        public Task<Note> GetNoteAsync(int id)
        {
            return _database.Table<Note>()
                            .Where(i => i.ID == id)
                            .FirstOrDefaultAsync();
        }

        public Task<int> SaveNoteAsync(Note note)
        {
            if (note.ID != 0)
            {
                return _database.UpdateAsync(note);
            }
            else
            {
                return _database.InsertAsync(note);
            }
        }

        public Task<int> DeleteNoteAsync(Note note)
        {
            return _database.DeleteAsync(note);
        }
    }
}

And


namespace Notes.Models
{
    public class Note
    {
        [PrimaryKey, AutoIncrement]
        public int ID { get; set; }
        public string Zeeboot { get; set; }
        public string Schip { get; set; }
        public string Stad { get; set; }
        public DateTime Date { get; set; }
    }
}

Hi Boris,

Greetings from Syncfusion.

We have analyzed your query. You can bind the SQLite database to ComboBox datasource as like below code snippet.

Data base: 
 
public class ComboBoxDataBase 
    { 
        static object locker = new object(); 
        ISQLiteService SQLite 
        { 
            get 
            { 
                return DependencyService.Get<ISQLiteService>(); 
            } 
        } 
        readonly SQLiteConnection connection; 
        readonly string DatabaseName; 
  
        public ComboBoxDataBase(string databaseName) 
        { 
            DatabaseName = databaseName; 
            connection = SQLite.GetConnection(DatabaseName); 
        } 
  
        public void CreateTable<T>() 
        { 
            lock (locker) 
            { 
                connection.CreateTable<T>(); 
            } 
        } 
  
        public int SaveItem<T>(T item) 
        { 
            lock (locker) 
            { 
                var id = ((Employee)(object)item).ID; 
  
                return connection.Insert(item); 
  
            } 
        } 
        public IEnumerable<T> GetItems<T>() where T : new() 
        { 
            lock (locker) 
            { 
                return (from i in connection.Table<T>() select i).ToList(); 
            } 
        } 
  
        public int DeleteAll<T>() 
        { 
            lock (locker) 
            { 
                return connection.DeleteAll<T>(); 
            } 
        } 
    } 

XAML: 
 
<combobox:SfComboBox   
 x:Name="comboBox" 
 DataSource="{Binding EmployeeCollection}" 
 DisplayMemberPath="ZeeBoot" /> 

MainPage: 
  public partial class MainPage : ContentPage 
    { 
        ViewModel comboBoxData = new ViewModel(); 
        public ObservableCollection<Employee> EmployeeCollection { get; set; } 
        public MainPage() 
        { 
            InitializeComponent(); 
            EmployeeCollection = new ObservableCollection<Employee>(); 
  
            var employee = comboBoxData.ItemsSource.GetItems<Employee>(); 
  
            foreach (Employee emp in employee) 
            { 
                EmployeeCollection.Add(emp); 
            } 
  
            comboBox.BindingContext = this; 
        } 
    } 

We have created sample based on your requirement, please find the sample from below location.

Hemalatha,

I am currently trying to implement your solution. What is the purpose of the following? Specifically the Delete employee table part and the creation entries.

My table is already filled with data I don't want to delete. 

James

  public ViewModel()
        {
            ItemsSource = new ComboBoxDataBase("DataSource");
            ItemsSource.CreateTable<Employee>();
            ItemsSource.DeleteAll<Employee>();
            ItemsSource.SaveItem(new Employee() { ZeeBoot = "eric" });
            ItemsSource.SaveItem(new Employee() { ZeeBoot = "Jessie" });
            ItemsSource.SaveItem(new Employee() { ZeeBoot = "Lisa" });
            ItemsSource.SaveItem(new Employee() { ZeeBoot = "Jack" });
            ItemsSource.SaveItem(new Employee() { ZeeBoot = "Tom" });
        }

Hi James, 
 
We have to create a collection locally and assign the values by retrieving from the database. By using “DisplayMemberPath” you can set ZeeBoot string to be displayed.
