The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

how to capture selected values of a combobox who's datasource is a LIST (arrylist)

Asked by mkarkoukli in Microsoft Development, .NET, Microsoft Visual Basic.Net

Tags: vb.net, combo boxes, arraylist, vs 2008, vs 2005, MS SQL, VB vb events

I am using a combo box to allow the user to change the view of a datagridview based on a value selected from the combobox (status). the datasource for the combobox is LIST as you can see below. When I open the form i am preloading the combobox to get it ready. For some reason I'm getting the error below when I open my form. I suspect the reason behind the error is the fact that I am using a LIST for datasource; consequently I am unable to read correctly the integer value of a selected status. So my question, how am i supposed to read the integer value for a selected status while the data source is a LIST?

Thank you,
