ComboBox

[Mahan Chimanji]

Dear Sir/Madam,

I copied this code from gotdotnet.com tutorial.

//it is adding items to a combobox1(cmbStyle)
StringIntObject[] aStyle = new StringIntObject[3];
aStyle[0] = new StringIntObject("Simple",(int)ComboBoxStyle.Simple);
aStyle[1] = new StringIntObject("Dropdown",(int)ComboBoxStyle.DropDown);
aStyle[2] = new StringIntObject("Dropdownlist",(int)ComboBoxStyle.DropDownList);
cmbStyle.Items.AddRange(aStyle);
comboBegin.DropDownStyle = (ComboBoxStyle)aStyle[1].i;
comboEnd.DropDownStyle = (ComboBoxStyle)aStyle[1].i;
cmbStyle.SelectedIndex = 1;

//This is adding items to a combobox2(cmbDrawMode)

// Sync ComboBox draw modes to DrawMode.NORMAL
StringIntObject[] aDMO = new StringIntObject[3];
aDMO[0] = new StringIntObject("Normal",(int)DrawMode.Normal);
aDMO[1] = new StringIntObject("Ownerdrawfixed",(int)DrawMode.OwnerDrawFixed);
aDMO[2] = new StringIntObject("Ownerdrawvariable",(int)DrawMode.OwnerDrawVariable);
cmbDrawMode.Items.AddRange(aDMO);
comboBegin.DrawMode = (DrawMode)aDMO[0].i;
comboEnd.DrawMode = (DrawMode)aDMO[0].i;
cmbDrawMode.SelectedIndex = 0;

i get an error when i run the application saying are you missing an assembly directive please help.

Hi Mahan,

You need to define the class StringIntObject as shown below:

public class StringIntObject
{
public string s;
public int i;

public StringIntObject(string sz, int n)
{
s=sz;
i=n;
}

public override string ToString()
{
return s;
}
}

Regards,

Anu.
