assign value to datetimepicker (windows form)?

assign value to datetimepicker (windows form)?

• Ego_Opinion

  try,

  int index = combobox.FindString(myReader["ColumnName"]);

  combobox.SelectedIndex = index;

  You can also use the combobox.FindStringExact method if you want an exact match on the two values

  hope this helps

  You asked the question how to add a datetime value to a combobox. But i don't see the relationship between a datatime object and buy/sell
  
  When do you want to select buy and when sell

  I'm sorry that i confused you...actually tat is another question, it does not have relation with the datetime and with question 1...

  the question is like this....

  i have a combobox in my window form which i set the item collection to buy and sell...

  then now i read the data from database, the data is either buy and sell also, how can i assign the data to the combobox.....for example the data now is buy, how can the combobox show buy now

  hope you can understand

  String status = (String)myReader["ColumnBuySell"]; int index = combobox.FindString( status ); if( index == -1 ) { index = combobox.Items.Add( status ); } combobox.SelectedIndex = index;

  thank you for keep replying me....

  but i still have a doubt  for the second question i asked...

  Actually i have a combobox which item collection i have add in two item(buy , sell)...

  then when i read the data(either buy or sell) from database, the combobox will find the text and show it.....how the code is for this situation Because it used the above code, it cant work....it cant find the index of the item in the combobox....it will execute the if else statment, ....but the problem is i dont want to add another word "buy" into the combobox again.......i just want to display it....

  thank you.....

  "not work" in the previous post doesnt mean error....

  just the combobox doesnt select the word and show it .....

  but if i put "BUY" directly , it works, the combobox will select the word from the item collection and show it....

  dont know why this situation happen....wondering...

  The DateTimePicker control class has a Value propery. You can set this to show a specified time on the control.
  
  

  myDateTimePicker.Value = (DateTime)myReader["P_UNITS"];

  DateTime date = (DateTime)reader["MyDataTimeField"]; int index = combobox.Items.IndexOf( date ); if( index == -1 ) { index = combobox.Items.Add( date ); } combobox.SelectedIndex = index;

  Did you make sure to replace "ColumnBuySell" with the column name in your database
