I have added a combobox to my search fields in a browse dialog. I am filling the combobox from a database that contains string data. I tried to modify the Initial Search Value of the combobox so that when the browse dialog is loaded it will only display the records with the given Initial Search Value. I am getting error about the "Input string was not in a correct format" when I try to run the application.

Could you please help me to initialize the combobox Search Field on a browse dialog?

When I set a combo field to a string value I am getting:

"Input string was not in a correct format"

Lets think that I have a table

1-Person
2-Company
3-Cooperation

When I set initial value to "Person" I am getting "Input string was not in a correct format" error, how can I handle this?

Hi Lastcanary,

This process should be pretty simple and straight forward.
You have to set the value based on the value type expected by the key field used in the combobox.  If that does not work, then provide the following info:

1. What is the type of the value you want to setup up, Sttring, Int, etc?
2. Paste the whole InitializeSearchFields code so we can see what are you doing.
