Hello, I am using Devexpress components on winforms. I want to load all the records in CustomerType table in an EntityCollection object and below is the code I am using. If I am wrong please guide me.

EntityCollection<CustomerTypeEntity> customerTypeCollection = 
                new EntityCollection<CustomerTypeEntity>(new  CustomerTypeEntityFactory());     

            DataAccessAdapter dataAccessAdapter = new DataAccessAdapter();
            dataAccessAdapter.FetchEntityCollection(customerTypeCollection, null);

The above code seems working fine and loaded some objects inside the collection. Now the issue is that how can I bind my returned collection of CustomerType to the ComboBox.

The CustomerType table is having 2 fields. CustomerTypeId, CustomerType. Now in the combobx I want to display the Customer Type which is a friendly description and in the value I want to use the CustomerTypeId. Please help how to achieve this.

Thanks and regards

You should configure it as if it would be a default winforms combobox. Please read Databinding with Winforms.

Also recommended to download the winforms examples (http://llblgen.com/pages/examples.aspx).

No dear, It is not a normal windows component. Is there any body who can provide me some example or way to bind the DevExpress combobox with the EntityView2

Regards

See: http://community.devexpress.com/forums/p/56756/191444.aspx

ComboBoxEdit doesn't support binding, it has an Items collection (.Properties.Items) to which you can add elements to, but if you want to show a combobox with data from a multi-column set, it's not directly bindable.

Thanks otis, you are a big help man...like others on this forum.
