I have a list box connected to a database.
I dont want the user to be able to type their own text into the listbox, i just want them to be able to choose from the drop down box.

How do i go about doing this in Visual Studio 2010?
Cant seem to find a property for it.

    I’m going with WinForms here.
    ListBox and DropdownBox (ComboBox) are 2 different controls.

    In a ListBox you can’t enter text by default, so I think you’re talking about a ComboBox here.
    That control has a property DropDownStyle. When you set that to DropDownList, the user can’t enter his own text.
