Snippet code of BindToDataTable.aspx.cs

protected void WebCombo1_InitializeDataSource(object sender,
    ISNet.WebUI.WebCombo.DataSourceEventArgs e)
{
    DataTable dt = new DataTable();
    dt.Columns.Add(new DataColumn("EmployeeID", typeof(int)));
    dt.Columns.Add(new DataColumn("FirstName", typeof(string)));
    dt.Columns.Add(new DataColumn("LastName", typeof(string)));
    dt.Columns.Add(new DataColumn("Title", typeof(string)));
    for (int i = 0; i < 5; i++)
    {
        DataRow dr = dt.NewRow();
        dr["EmployeeID"] = i;
        dr["FirstName"] = "John" + i;
        dr["LastName"] = "Doe" + i;
        dr["Title"] = "Owner";
        dt.Rows.Add(dr);
    }
    e.DataSource = dt;
}

As shown in the above snippet code, I have a simple sample of WebCombo where the DataSource is set to a DataTable on InitializeDataSource event.

In order to set a value of WebCombo, I simply add following line in the code behind (where value property of WebCombo is set to the id property of the DataTable).

WebCombo1.Value = "3";

I’m able to see a value selected in the WebCombo.

Please feel free to let us know whether this helps or not.

Problem setting initial value of WebCombo

I have a WebCombo where the DataSource is set to a collection of objects. I have added several properties from each object as a WebComboColumn. I set DataValueField = "Id" and DataTextField = "Name", both of which are properties on the DataSource object. I have a page containing a WebCombo where I want to set the currently selected item of the WebCombo to the object that is loaded by the page. I have attempted to set the Value property to the value of the Id property of the object. However, I am unable to see a value selected in the WebCombo. When DataBind on the WebCombo is called, the Value property seems to be cleared and the WebCombo is blank. I have tried setting the Value at several different times and have had no luck. Please help.

Also, the code that I currently have has worked fine for years but no longer works after I upgraded to version 6 of WebCombo from version 2.

Thanks.
