quick combobox question

[Ronni Marker]

it's 00:30 and I lost my mind in a few beers, came home and would do some coding before I hit the showers, but now I forgot an important part... I remember how to add values and text to a combobox via a datasource, but can any remember how to add both text and value in a static way? ie. Combobox1.Items.Add(new ????("text","value")); yes, yes I know, don't code drunk.

nah can't really use that solution, then I wouldnt be able to use SelectedValue to get the current selected value and would have to rewrite too much code as I then couldnt load the combobox values elsewhere. but thanks for the effort.

Why don't you create a static datatable with your static data??

static DataTable dt = new DataTable();
public Form1()
{
InitializeComponent();
dt.Columns.Add("MyTextToShow");
dt.Columns.Add("MyValueToShow");
dt.Rows.Add("OneText", 1);
dt.Rows.Add("TwoText", 2);
dt.Rows.Add("ThreeText", 3);
comboBox1.DataSource = dt;
comboBox1.ValueMember = "MyValueToShow";
comboBox1.DisplayMember = "MyTextToShow";
}

regards... and don't code drunk! is hateful haha
