Sorted combobox displays wrong data

[Guest]

Hi!
I have a tedious problem with comboboxes, as they don't display data
correctly.
Suppose I have a combobox "cmbEmployees" that shows Employee objects; class
Employee has an "Id" member and a "CompleteName" member. I set up my combobox
so to have "Id" as valuemember and "CompleteName" as displaymember. This
works good when I bind my data (cmbEmployees.DataSource=dao.GetEmployees()
and then getting an Id to display and setting cmbEmployees.SelectedValue to
it). The weird things come when I set the "Sorted" property to true... The
combobox doesn't display the employee with the requested Id... What's wrong?
Thank you in advance!!

Hi,
Below link solves your problem:

It doesn't solve the problem, but shows how the Sorted property works (and we
can say it works BAD). The only solution is to create something like
"GetSortedEmployees()" method in my dao objects.
Thank you, the link was helpful!
