Ok did some debugging, it seems that when i set a new datasource, the combobox.DisplayMember defaults to "". Although the combobox.ValueMember stays as "Key".

the fix Im using is to re-set DisplayMember to "Value" on each datasource update.

Is this a bug? Is it supposed to reset these properties when the datasource is set? or is it my implementation that is buggy?

All other factors are identical. The actual problem was only the very FIRST datasource set worked as intended, every subsequent datasource was displayed improperly with displaymembers and valuemember being shown in the listbox.


Revised Code Example: (Working with fix) (Compiles and runs with the components on designer..)
C#

using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.ComponentModel;
using System.Data;

        public Form1()
        {
            InitializeComponent();

            this.sc = new skbtServerControl(this);

            // coxArmaPath = Combo Box (simple drop down)
            this.cBoxArmaPath.ValueMember = "Key";
            this.cBoxArmaPath.DisplayMember = "Value"; // This doesnt seem to stick after the first datasource set??
            // ....
        }

        public void addServerPathItem(String Key, String Value)
        {
            this.cBoxArmaPath.Items.Add(new KeyValuePair<String, String>(Key, Value));
            // This works fine, only the "DisplayMember" is displayed and the "ValueMember" is hidden.
        }

        // This acts differently with the same types???
        public void setServerPathDatasource(List<KeyValuePair<String, String>> source)
        {
            this.cBoxArmaPath.DisplayMember = "Value"; // fix datasource problem

    }

    public class CoreConfig
    {
        public Dictionary<String, skbtServerConfig> getServerConfigList(){
            return new Dictionary<string, skbtServerConfig>()
            {
                {"somekey1", new skbtServerConfig("somename1")},
                {"somekey2", new skbtServerConfig("somename2")}
            };
        }
    }

    public class skbtServerConfig
    {
        private String name;

        public skbtServerConfig(String name)
        {
            this.name = name;
        }

        public String getTextualName()
        {
            return this.name;
        }
    }
}


Thanks guys, its not pretty and probably not the way to use datasources but at least i know what the problem was and the solution.

Though, If anyone can tell me why its resetting the members?
