Incrementing Years in Combobox

Sonali Chaudhari

Hello!

I am a beginner in C# and was trying to make a birthdate boxes using combobox.

This is the code where i am facing prob for Year part. I am getting the values in the combobox in 3k &4k.

private void SignUpPage_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)

{

comboBox1.Items.Add("January");

comboBox1.Items.Add("February");

comboBox1.Items.Add("March");

comboBox1.Items.Add("April");

comboBox1.Items.Add("May");

comboBox1.Items.Add("June");

comboBox1.Items.Add("July");

comboBox1.Items.Add("August");

comboBox1.Items.Add("September");

comboBox1.Items.Add("October");

comboBox1.Items.Add("November");

comboBox1.Items.Add("December");

comboBox1.SelectedIndex = comboBox1.FindStringExact("January");

comboBox3.Text = DateTime.Today.Year.ToString();

for (int i = 1950; i <= 2018; i++)

{

comboBox3.Items.Add(DateTime.Today.Year + (i)).ToString();

}

Kindly suggest or share the code for the same.

Thanks :)

You can try this code to populate Year drop down
var startingYear = 1950;

while (startingYear <= DateTime.Today.Year)
{
    comboBox3.Items.Add(startingYear);
    startingYear++;
}

comboBox3.Items.Insert(0, "Select");
comboBox3.SelectedIndex = 0;
Thanks

it is normal you are adding 2018+1950,1951..you can take out datetime.today.year inside for loop..
