From the picture above you can see that i have inserted values into my
listview. The problem is that the countries which is a combobox does not show
the contries, but instead it shows where the country class exists. I dont know
why, has it to do with that countries is not a string? and whats the solution



Form1 = listview



Form2 = my customer manager



down here is inside Form1:




public partial class MainForm : Form

  {

  CustomerFiles.
Contact contact = new CustomerFiles.Contact();

  CustomerFiles.
Address address = new CustomerFiles.Address();

 
CustomerFrame customerframe = new CustomerFrame();


down here is inside Form2:
 
public partial class CustomerFrame : Form

  {


  CustomerFiles.
Address address = new CustomerFiles.Address();

  CustomerFiles.
Contact contact = new CustomerFiles.Contact();

  CustomerFiles.
Countries country = new CustomerFiles.Countries();


 
public string firstName { get; set; }

 
public string lastName { get; set; }

 
internal CustomerFiles.Phone phone { get; set; }

 
internal CustomerFiles.Email email { get; set; }

 
internal CustomerFiles.Address addressinfo { get; set; }

 
public string city { get; set; }

 
internal CustomerFiles.Countries countryinfo { get; set; }

 
public string street { get; set; }

 
public string zipcode { get; set; }
public


CustomerFrame()
  {

  InitializeComponent(); 
List<CustomerFiles.Countries> countries = new List<CustomerFiles.Countries> {

 
new CustomerFiles.Countries{ CountryId = 1, Name = "Bulgaria"},

 
new CustomerFiles.Countries{ CountryId = 2, Name = "France"},

 
new CustomerFiles.Countries{ CountryId = 3, Name = "Brazil"},

 
new CustomerFiles.Countries{ CountryId = 4, Name = "Russia"},

 
new CustomerFiles.Countries{ CountryId = 5, Name = "South Africa"},

 
new CustomerFiles.Countries{ CountryId = 6, Name = "Kurdistan"},

 
new CustomerFiles.Countries{ CountryId = 7, Name = "China"},

 
new CustomerFiles.Countries{ CountryId = 8, Name = "Japan"},

 
new CustomerFiles.Countries{ CountryId = 9, Name = "United States of America"},

 
new CustomerFiles.Countries{ CountryId = 10, Name = "UK"},

 
new CustomerFiles.Countries{ CountryId = 11, Name = "Australia"}, 

 
new CustomerFiles.Countries{ CountryId = 12, Name = "Germany"},

 
new CustomerFiles.Countries{ CountryId = 13, Name = "Sweden"},};


  cbCountry.DataSource = countries;

  cbCountry.DisplayMember =
"Name";

  cbCountry.ValueMember =
"CountryId";

  cbCountry.SelectedValue = 1;


  btnOk.DialogResult =
DialogResult.OK;
  contact.ToString();
  address.ToString();
  }
private


void btnOk_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)

  {

  firstName = contact.FirstName;


  contact.LastName = tbLastName.Text;

  lastName = contact.LastName;


  contact.PhoneData =
  contact.FirstName = tbFirstName.Text;new CustomerFiles.Phone(tbCellPhone.Text);

  phone = contact.PhoneData;


  contact.PhoneData =
new CustomerFiles.Phone(tbHomePhone.Text);

  email = contact.EmailData;
  address.City = tbCity.Text;

  city = address.City;


  address.Country =
new CustomerFiles.Countries(cbCountry.Text);

  countryinfo = address.Country;





  address.Street = tbStreet.Text;

  street = address.Street;


  address.ZipCode = tbZipCode.Text;

  zipcode = address.ZipCode;

  }
 
public override string ToString()

  {


return string.Format("[{0}, {1}, {2}]", contact.ToString(), address.ToString(), country.Name);


  }

  }

}
And here is inside my address class
 
class Address

  {


private string city;

 
public Countries country;

 
private string street;

 
private string strErrMessage;

 
private string zipCode;





 
public Address()

  {

 
string strErrMessage = string.Empty;

 
string street = string.Empty;

 
string zipCode = string.Empty;

 
string city = string.Empty;

  }


 
public Address(string street, string zipCode, string city)

  {

  Street = street;

  ZipCode = zipCode;

  City = city;

  }

 
public Address(string street, string zipCode, string city, Countries country)

  {

  Street = street;

  ZipCode = zipCode;

  City = city;

  Country = country;

  strErrMessage =
string.Empty;


  }
public


Countries Country

  {

 
get

{

 
return country;

  }

 
set

  {

  country =
value;

  }

  }
 
public override string ToString()

  {


return string.Format("[{0}, {1}, {2}, {3}]", city, zipCode, street, country);

  }

  }

}
