The example displays a student’s subject in a DataGridView after a SelectedIndexChanged event of a ComboBox.

Submitted by admin on

This tutorial will teach you on how to create a key automatically as a primary key in your table. It is sometimes needed to create your own key to format it on your own needs. Say for example you’d like to format it to start as four (4) digits rather than starting from one (1).
