Hi All.

I just started to study on C# and I have an Application on WPF which reads datas in my XML. I read the datas with Dataset and I put them in to a ComboBox. But i have some shapes (Elipse) and I want to fill that shapes different colors if there the data which i want in ComboBox.

----
DataSet ds = new DataSet();
ds.ReadXml("D:\\data.xml");
foreach (DataTable tbl in ds.Tables)
{
foreach (DataRow dr in tbl.Rows)
{
cmb1.Items.Add(dr[0].ToString());
}
}
After adding items to ComboBox. For Example I want to fill Elipse1 with Red Color If There is Elipse1 item in ComboBox which comes from XML.
Is there anyone to help me :( ??
Thanks.

Hai...

Two ways to do it...

First way is
if(ComboBox.SelectedItem.ToString()== "Elipse1")
{
   Elipse1.Fill = new SolidColorBrush(Colors.Blue);
}

if(ComboBox.SelectedItem.ToString()== "Rectangle")
{
   Rectangle.Fill = new SolidColorBrush(Colors.Blue);
}

Secondway is
if(ComboBox.SelectedIndex==0)
{
   Elipse1.Fill = new SolidColorBrush(Colors.Blue);
}

if(ComboBox.SelectedIndex==1)
{
   Rectangle.Fill = new SolidColorBrush(Colors.Blue);
}

Hope i made myself clear...

Datas contains only Names no colors no shapes.. I want sth like : If Elipse1 selected from ComboBox the Elips1 on my design will be filled by a color..

i cant compare it.

if(ComboBox.SelectedItem.ToString()== !! What !!)
{
Elipse1.Fill = new SolidColorBrush(Colors.Blue);
}

I want sth like that ...

Events are OK, Taking the datas with DataSet is OK. But I cant Compare ..

Thanks.
