Hello all,

I have a drop down box containing 2 employees. I want to populate an hourly rate (£) text box which will be the result of which Employee is selected from the drop down. The hourly rate values are hard coded for now.

Below is the function I call for setting the Hourly Rate.

function SetHourlyRate
{	
	param(
		$WhichEmployee = $($EmployeeDropDownBox.SelectedItem)
	)
	
	if ($WhichEmployee = "Mike Smith")
	{ $HourlyRateTextBox.Text = "£11.60" }
	
	if ($WhichEmployee = "David Bloggs")
	{ $HourlyRateTextBox.Text = "£12.20" }	
}

Below is the drop down box with selected value event:

$EmployeeList = @("Mike Smith", "David Bloggs")
foreach ($Employee in $EmployeeList)
{
	$EmployeeDropDownBox.Items.Add($Employee)
}
$EmployeeDropDownBox.add_SelectedValueChanged({ SetHourlyRate })

Selecting any employee sets the rate to £12.20, I am unable to display the £11.60 value. Is my $WhichEmployee variable not matching the if statements of “Mike Smith” or “David Bloggs”? I have tried using .selecteditem.ToString() also which did not work. The function seems to display whichever value is displayed last.

Thanks

Resolved. Daft error on my part, operator “=” should be written as -eq, hence why my statements were failing. Apologies if you were taking part. thanks
