Have you tried using a Select Case with constants set as options in your drop down box?

Nope, do you have example code?

Questions:

  1. Why Visual Basic
  2. Why such an old version of Visual Studio?
  3. What context? WPF & MVVM or WinForms?
  4. If the latter... Why use such deprecated technology?

The single biggest problem in communication is the illusion that it has taken place.

I have a 1 word answer for all your questions,

College.

I have no choice, its what my course decides to use. I would choose otherwise what coding language to use.

Are you using WPF or WinForms?

 

Btw, Visual Studio Community 2015 is free :) Got a ton of cool features.

WinForms, and I am running 2015 community oops my bad.

Edit: I use 2015 at home, I think its a different version of 2015 at college like a paid for license version.
