Fill A Combobox from a text file

[Domino2006]

Hi Guys and Gals

Im Trying to load the contents of a text file into a combobox, i have looked all over the net to no avail.

i have read the text file using a streamreader and assigned it to a string, i have used the string name as the datasource as follows

combobox1.datasource = stringname

it isnt a 1-dimensional array could this be the problem?


any help would be gr8 thanx in advance.

Hi Domino,

You want to add the lines from the file to the combo, right ?

If your file is one item per line then use something like:

Dim Lines() As String
Lines = Split(StreamReader.ReadToEnd, vbCrLf)
StreamReader.Close
combobox1.datasource = Lines
