Multiple variables in for each loop.
OK. I am working on getting my SQL Insert command working correctly. Currently I have:
To my surprise, I almost got this working completely. The "foreach" works, executing the command for each combobox on the form. All work except for the 2, TimeWorked and HoursWorked. It repeats the values of stopwatch1. This makes sense because I specified which stop watch to reference.
What I need to know:
How to do get the stop watch information to "marry-up" with the appropriate ComboBox in the loop?
Please let me know if you need additional information and thank you for your time!!!

I have 15 stopwatches declared:
Each stop watch is linked to the text of a Textbox:
This appears as:
There is 15 lines of ComboBoxes, buttons, and Stop watches.
Please let me know if you need more information.

I'm assuming that your ComboBoxes are named taskComboBoxn (n=1 through 15) ..
Probably the easiest thing to do is to declare another form-level stopwatch:
And then modify your for loop with a switch statement:

Couldn't you use the Controls collection for this?
string comboname = taskComboBox.Name;
string stopwatchname = comboname.Replace("taskComboBox", "stopwatch");
stopwatch = this.Controls[stopwatchname];

What I posted is reliant on the naming of the combonoxes/stopwatches following a regular pattern.
Looks like that's the case here but you never know.:)

I don't quite understand the setup of your form.
How many comboboxes do you have?
Can you set up a separate stopwatch for each combobox?
