The following code is for a desktop application, not a web app. I have essentially created a dynamic row of controls to collect phone information for a contact. The user can push a button at the end of each row if they want to add an additional row for contact info.
Problem 1: Each row has two comboboxes (cmbo_PhoneType & cmbo_BestCalltime) with eventhandlers attached. The event handlers, cmbo_PhoneType.SelectedIndexChanged && cmbo_BestCallTime.SelectedIndexChanged are not firing for the individual comboBoxes, for each row the user creates.
Problem 2: The selected list item visible to the user never changes. For example they select "Home"...the combobox will find it and append, but once the user leaves the combobox the selection (for all comboboxes) are defaulting back to the first item in the list.
If this were a web app, I would think it would be related to postback and viewstate (which I have not yet created the view state, but will once I get past these issues), but since this is a desktop app, I'm not sure. What have I missed?

CodePudding user response：
When you wire up the dynamic controls, the SOURCE of the event will be passed to the event handler via the SENDER parameter.
Cast "sender" to your appropriate control type and then act upon it:
private void phoneType_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
ComboBox cb = (ComboBox)sender;
cb.DataBindings.Clear();
}
private void cmboBestCallTime_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
ComboBox cb = (ComboBox)sender;
cb.DataBindings.Clear();
}
