[Help] Save Items in Combobox[Solved]

Is there a way to save the items currently in a com

x using settings?

Goto Properties / Settings (Your application settings)
[Right click application name in solution explorer, Properties, settings tab)

Saving a single Item

Click the Settings Name and create a new setting, Calling it Combobs
Set it's type to string

* Form Load
- Loads saved Values
[php]
Me.ComboBox1.Text = My.Settings.Combobs
[/php]

*Form Closing
-This code sets the settings when the form is closing

Or you can add it as a button event

However you want.

Saving Multiple Items

Create the same setting as above (combobs) Except it's type will be Specialized.StringCollection [system.Collections.Specialized.StringCollection]

* For Load
-Loads Settings

[php]
If My.Settings.combobs IsNot Nothing Then
For Each Item As String In My.Settings.combobs
ComboBox1.Items.Add(Item)
Next
Else
My.Settings.combobs = New System.Collections.Specialized.StringCollection
End If
[/php]

Save Settings, Button or Form Closing

[php]
If ComboBox1.Items.Count > 0 Then
My.Settings.combobs.Clear()
For Each Item2 As String In ComboBox1.Items
My.Settings.combobs.Add(Item2)
Next
My.Settings.Save()
End If
[/php]

Thanx Man, Best Vb Minion

Not a problem, there is a problem though, I am correcting it in the code

hehe after debugging theres an error... Lol
For Each item As String In My.Settings.Combobs

Fixed, Should work fine.

Have Fun
