I dropped a ComboBox on a WinForm. I then set FormattingEnabled to true and
the FormatString for Currency in the Designer. I then added a couple of
numeric items to the Items Collection in the Designer:

3333
4444

Now when I run this, I expect to see the $ sign since I used the Currency
format, but I don't!!

Please help!!

Thanks,
Arshad

What have you set your DisplayMember to? FormattingEnabled applies to the
DisplayMember property.

OK. My items are loaded at design time in the Properties (Items/Collections).
That is why it doesn't work. As per your reply, I would need a datasource for
this to work. Thanks!
