populate a ComboBox

[R]

I am trying to populate a ComboBox with data from a access db. I have the following code that works in a normal combobox, but with the radcombobox does nothing:

                Dim ComboBox1 As New Telerik.WinControls.UI.RadComboBox

                Dim cn As OleDbConnection
                Dim connString As String = ligacao
                cn = New OleDbConnection(connString)

                cn.Open()
                Dim da As New OleDb.OleDbDataAdapter(sql, cn)

                Dim ds As DataSet = New DataSet
                da.Fill(ds, "Tabela")

                With ComboBox1
                    .DataSource = ds.Tables(0)
                    .DisplayMember = "D1"
                    .ValueMember = "D2"
                End With

Can you tell me what I have to change to make it work?

Thanks

Hello R,

Thank you for the question.

Please keep the following in mind when creating and binding RadComboBox in run-time:

1. Add your instance of RadComboBox to its parent form before data-binding occurs.
2. Set its ValueMember and DisplayMember properties before setting its DataSource. This will significantly increase the performance.

I hope this is helpful. If you have other questions do not hesitate to contact me again.

 
All the best,
