Codecruiser thank... the links help me understand databindings better.<br />
<br />
<br />
My problem actually turned out to be that I was binding the selectedindex to a datarow with a value before binding the datasource<br />
<br />
So the belows seems to work ok...<br />
<br />
cmbPlane.DataSource = System.Enum.GetValues(GetT<wbr />ype(EcCplP<wbr />lanes))<br />
cmbPlane.DataBindings.Add(<wbr />&quot;Text&quot;, drCurrent, &quot;Plane&quot;)
</div>

I would like to set a combobox datasource to evaluate an enum such that the dropdown lists the Text Values and the Selected Index reflects the integer value. Found that worked ok... but the problem I have is I want the Selected Index bound to a datarow. So when the user picks another text value in the combobox the index is pushed to the datarow. <br />
<br />
The code below works ok but the combobox pushes the Text value to the datarow. How to I code it such that the combo selectedindex is updated to the datarow rather than the text value.<br />
<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp;cmbPlane.DataBindings.Add(<wbr />&quot;Text&quot;, drCurrent, &quot;Plane&quot;)<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; cmbPlane.DataSource = System.Enum.GetValues(GetT<wbr />ype(EcCplP<wbr />lanes))

VB.NET comboBox databinding

Visual Basic .NET (VB.NET) is an object-oriented programming language implemented on the .NET framework, but also supported on other platforms such as Mono and Silverlight. Microsoft launched VB.NET as the successor to the Visual Basic language. Though it is similar in syntax to  Visual Basic pre-2002, it is not the same technology,
