Thanks, it was sure worth checking the events....

I added a messagebox in the SelectedValueChange event and that messagebox came up 4 times before the form was painted, but when I set the selectedValue through code it didt fire at all...

LOL!!

What is happening here?

AND WHY ON EARTH IS MY REPLY COMING ON TOP OF YOUR REPLY?????????

Is the time on your machine correct ? I though the forum database sorted the messages by descending order of posting id ...

well the clock is accurate with the time here in sweden and I have the correct time setting under the options of my account.

I can see that it has to do with the time though.....

In desperate need of help (old, se other thread with same name)

I'll try to make this short....

I have a databound form (bound to Table1) with a combobox that has another table (Table2) as its datasource, the SelecteValue property of that combobox is databound to Table1.

So basicly I choose something from the combobox that has values from Table2 and save the cjosen value to Table1.

If I do this manually (with the mouse) everything works great, but if i do it with code (ie Combobox1.SelectedValue = 2 for example) it does not work, it then takes the default value (0) when I call the EndCurrentEdit of the BindingManagerBase.

It also works if I set the SelectedIndex property of the combobox, but that is of course something I'd rather not do as I have to loop through all indexes of the box to find wich one has the correct Value.

Note:
I've heard sayings like "databinding of Hell" and Iv'e heard people saying that databinding is the devils work. Just to let you know...... THE DEVIL IS A MERE FART compared to databinding !!

I guess you can get a notion of my frustration...... :)

Any help is GREATLY appreciated!!

I haven't used databound controls yet but I'm trying to guess why it is working with the mouse but not with code (well just to share your frustration). I think that contrary to the behaviour in VB6 where when you set the value of say a command button with
VB Code:
```
cmdButton1.Value = True
```
that would fire the Click event of the button this does not happen in VB.NET.

So, may be it would be worth finding out what methods or events are fired when you click the bound combo selection and explicitly fire then after assigning the SelectedValue property.
