  johnie black   sarah smith   carol willis   maggie dubois 

this data in combo box

  (m)   (f) 

i want select name in listbox when proceed select gender combobox value select must added end of name selected

example.

carol willis(f)

this have tried:

private void form1_load(object sender, eventargs e) {                                                                                this.namestableadapter.fill(this.namesdataset.names);     combobox1.items.add("(m)");     combobox1.items.add("(f)");     combobox1.selectedindex = 0;     listbox1.selectedindex = 0; }  //the code above loads items combobox  //for lisbox connected database using option "use data bound items" 

any form of appreciated

this should point right direction:

public listbox lbnames = new listbox(); public combobox cbxgender = new combobox();  // combobox selected index changed event private void cbxgender_selectedindex_changed(object sender, eventargs e) {     // check if there selected items     if(lbnames.selecteditems.count == 1 && cbxgender.selecteditem != null)     {         // replace previous added gender         regex.replace(lbnames.selecteditem.tostring(), @".+(\([mf]\))", "");         // append new gender         lbnames.items[lbnames.selectedindex] = lbnames.selecteditem.tostring() + cbxgender.selecteditem.tostring();     } } 

wasnt tested, hint.
