Hi,


Please check the topic:
http://www.aspose.com/documentation/.net-components/aspose.cells-for-.net/working-with-controls.html

See the text/example under sub-heading “Adding ComboBox Control to the Worksheet” on the page.

To retrieve the value/text of the combo box, you may try to use the following properties in the given sample code:

Aspose.Cells.Drawing.ComboBox cbx = (Aspose.Cells.Drawing.ComboBox)worksheet.Shapes[0];
string lnkcell = cbx.LinkedCell;
Response.Write(cbx.LinkedCell);
Response.Write(worksheet.Cells[“A1”].StringValue);
Response.Write(cbx.SelectedIndex.ToString());
Response.Write(cbx.SelectedValue.ToString());
Response.Write(cbx.SelectedCell.StringValue);

Thank you.

Hi,


Well, I am afraid, you have to import the values from your database to Excel sheet (you may import data from your data source to a sheet and then you can make it invisible if you want) as we do not support the drop down to be bound with data source on the back end.

For importing data from data source, see the topic:

Thank you.
