I am Filling a ComboBox from a SQL-Server Table but as the Data is sorted I am losing the original Index.
For instance, if I have 3 entries in my Table as follows ...
IDDATA
0Z
1Y
2X
and I Fill my ComboBox with the DATA, then when I select X the SelectedIndex will be 2, which is the correct key from the SQL-Server Table it is loaded from.
However, if I Sort the Data using the ORDER BY command in my SQL statement, the Data will display in the ComboBox as ...
X
Y
Z
... and if I select X the SelectedIndex will be 0 because that is the Index within the ComboBox, not the SQL Index / key.
How do I display the ComboBox in Alphabetical Order but also store, or remember, the original SQL Index ?
I guess this is pretty basic, but I seem to be going round in circles !!!
