COMBOBOX DESCENDING SORTING

[dalvarezmtz]

I am actually going nuts about this... i NEED for this to work, now.. im desperate

i cannot figure this stupid thing out...
i want to sort a combobox with certain numbers in a descending way...
i have tried everything including arraylists and nothing seems to work
i am not using any DB, just pure vb.net code.
i get the numbers from a textbox i enter.

PLEASE.. SOME HELP HERE.. PLEASE

If is is data-bound, it uses the sort order of that. If not, try setting the Sorted property to False

When you submit the number from the text box (hit ok or what not) add the value to an Array List. Then sort the Array List the way you want to with the .Sort method. Then clear the combo box out and loop through the array list in order and add the items to the combo box. There may be a way to do that with out looping also, you may be able to just set the .list or .items equal to the array list.

First, I don't like people reposting 3 times to get there answer but this really works and is the way to go for you.

Dim d As New DataTable
        Dim c As DataColumn
        Dim r As DataRow
        c = New DataColumn("name", GetType(String))
        d.Columns.Add(c)
        r = d.NewRow
        r.Item(0) = "a"
        d.Rows.Add(r)
        r = d.NewRow
        r.Item(0) = "b"
        d.Rows.Add(r)
        r = d.NewRow
        r.Item(0) = "c"
        d.Rows.Add(r)
        r = d.NewRow
        r.Item(0) = "d"
        d.Rows.Add(r)
        d.DefaultView.Sort = "name DESC"
        ComboBox1.DataSource = d
        ComboBox1.DisplayMember = "name"
        ComboBox1.ValueMember = "name"

For future reference. You get dscending order in an Array or ArrayList by executing the Sort method followed by the Reverse method.
