    Resolved [RESOLVED] [2003] Populating a ComboBox with drives

    Im trying to populate a combobox with a list of the drives located in "My Computer"

    So each drive would have an item and text

    How would I go about doing this?

    Call DriveInfo.GetDrives and bind the result to your ComboBox.

    Oops! Just after I posted I realised that you're using .NET 1.1 so the DriveInfo class is not available to you.

    It's in the Environment class, been there since .Net 1.0 (VS 2002):
    Code:
            For Each Drive As String In Environment.GetLogicalDrives
            MessageBox.Show(Drive)
        Next Drive
    What you can do is bind the ComboBox to the Environment.GetLogicalDrives array and there ya go.
    Currently using VS 2015 Enterprise on Win10 Enterprise x64.

    Thank you very much. Works great now
    My car if Chevy was VB.NET

    Code:
    Public Class MyCar
    Public Sub Camaro()
        Dim Camaro As Car
        Camaro = SS.Fast("Sexy")
    End Sub

    Public Function Fast(ByVal sexy As String ) As String
        Return "SUPER" & sexy
    End Function
End Class
