Solution:1
UPDATE: I just realize you may have been asking the opposite of what I provided below: how to added the items from a ComboBox
to a List<string>
. If that's the case, you could always do it like this:
List<string> strList = new List<string>(); strList.AddRange(cbx.Items.Cast<object>().Select(x => x.ToString()));
Here's an extension method I use:
public static class ControlHelper { public static void Populate<T>(this ComboBox comboBox, IEnumerable<T> items) { try { comboBox.BeginUpdate(); foreach (T item in items) { comboBox.Items.Add(item); } } finally { comboBox.EndUpdate(); } } }
This allows you to populate a ComboBox
with any generic collection that can be enumerated. See how easy it is to call:
List<string> strList = new List<string> { "abc", "def", "ghi" }; cbx.Populate(strList);
Notice that you could also make this method non-generic, since the ComboBox.Items
property is of a non-generic type (you can add any object
to Items
). In this case the Populate
method would accept a plain IEnumerable
instead of an IEnumerable<T>
.
