Populating a Combobox

Hey all,

I have a rather odd question. I have developed a application and want to fill a combo box with data from a text file. It is complicated as to why I need to do this, let's just say the application is mobile and I don't have access to a database, and can't populate this combo box over the airwaves because the pipe is too small.

Thanks in advance!

So whats the question? Just load what you need from the textfile into an array and bind it to the combo. What code do you have so far?

Here's a quick example on how to do it.

1) I created a sample.txt file on my C:

VB Code:

Imports System.IO
 
Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
     'Declare the your File and StreamReader variables
     Dim oFile As File 
     Dim oRead As StreamReader
 
     'Open the text file
     oRead = oFile.OpenText("C:\sample.txt")
 
     'Read each line of the file and load it into the combobox
     While (oRead.Peek <> -1)
         cboText.Items.Add(oRead.ReadLine)
     End While
 
     'Close the StreamReader
     oRead.Close()
End Sub
