c# - How to populate ComboBoxes by lines of a string Array? -

please, wrong here

abc = labguns.text;  // multiline label string[] arr = regex.split(abc, "\r\n"); x = 0;  foreach (string line in arr) {     messagebox.show(line); //works fine - shows each line of label     x = x + 1;     string abc = "cbguns" + x.tostring();     messagebox.show(abc); //works fine - shows "cbguns1", "cbguns2"...     foreach (control c in panprev.controls)     {         if (c.name == abc) // 5 combos named cbguns1, cbguns2...         {             c.text = line; //doesn't work. no combo changes text         }     } } 

if change last line - c.text = "323" - nothing happened.
so, mistake somewhere near end of code.

this code works (as test):

foreach (control c in panprev.controls) { if (c.name == "cbguns1") { c.text = "323"; } } 

if i'm understanding correctly, want add line combobox, not select line in it, correct? in order this, don't set text value of combobox string, need add new comboboxitem combobox, so:

c.items.add(line); 

instead of

c.text = line; 

let me know if works!

edit: ok, since you're trying change selected item of combobox, write

c.selecteditem = line;
