I have a ComboBox
and an ObservableCollection
set as DataSource
for that ComboBox
.
When I programmatically add/remove items from the observable collection, nothing changes in the ComboBox
.
What am I doing wrong?
Part 2: tried to put a BindingSource
as a proxy for ObservableCollection
. When programmatically added/removed items from ObservableCollection
, no event like ListChanged
or similar fired.
How can I make a ComboBox
automatically update its list when underlying collection changes?
public Form1()
{
InitializeComponent();
comboBox1.DataSource = new ObservableCollection<MyItem>(
new []
{
new MyItem() { Name = "AAA"},
new MyItem() { Name = "BBB"},
});
}
private void Button3_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
// Nothing changes in the ComboBox when I add a new item to ObservableCollection
((ObservableCollection<MyItem>)(comboBox1.DataSource))
.Add(new MyItem() { Name = Guid.NewGuid().ToString()});
}
}
public class MyItem
{
public string Name { get; set; }
}
It helps to wrap a list in a BindingList<T>
. Here a little test code:
public partial class Form1 : Form
{
private readonly List<string> _coll = new List<string> { "aaaaa", "bbbbb", "ccccc" };
private readonly BindingList<string> _blist;
private readonly Random _rand = new Random();
private const string Templ = "mcvnoqei4yutladfffvtymoiaro875b247ytmlarkfhsdmptiuo58y1toye";
public Form1()
{
InitializeComponent();
_blist = new BindingList<string>(_coll);
comboBox1.DataSource = _blist;
}
private void AddButton_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
int i = _rand.Next(Templ.Length - 5);
string s = Templ.Substring(i, 5);
_blist.Add(s);
}
}
Note that you have to make the changes (Add, Remove etc.) to the BindingList
. The BindingSource
works the same way.
