DataReader and Combo Boxes

[hog]

To date I have always used a DataAdapter to populate a Combo Box simply by calling the Fill method. As the Combo Box has its DataSource etc set to the DataAdapter it gets refreshed with little effort on my part.

 

I am reading that a DataReader is much quicker and efficient for getting read only data, which is what I am doing.

 

Question is this; do I have to loop through the returned records and add each indiviual record to the Combo Box or is there an automatic way that VB.Net manages?

 

Thnx

You can bind to a dataset, datatable or dataview.

OK so coding to loop through the data reader to populate the combo box is the way to go:)
