C# Adding an Object to a ComboBox
October 26th, 2007
I needed a control similar to the HTML <SELECT> menu where you can have a key - value pair. To do this in C#, you first create an object like the one below: Notice the “ToString” method, that is what will display in the dropdown.
public class area
{
public string areaName = “”;
public int aID;
public override string ToString()
{
return areaName;
}
}
Next, create your object and add it to your comboBox
area theArea = new area();
theArea.aID = areaID;
theArea.areaName = areaName;
comboAreas.Items.Add(theArea);
