Difference between grid binding and ComboBox Binding

Tim FOrd posted on Wednesday, May 31, 2006

Hi i don't know if i'm missing something but i have created a class based on NameValueListBase called lookups, when i do a getlist it return the Lookups items and i can assign this to a grid using the datasource but for some reason it does not work when assigning it to a ComboBox.

        Dim objLookups As BusinessObjects.Lookups = BusinessObjects.Lookups.GetList

        ComboBox1.DataSource = objLookups
        DataGridView1.DataSource = objLookups

Do i need to use the DisplayMemeber because i'm unsure what property etc to assign to the DisplayMemeber.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.(Pretty new to this)

Thanks, Tim.

Tim,
Use these values:
ValueMember="Key"
DisplayMember="Value"

Hi xal,

I knew it would be simple.

Thanks, Tim.

Hi,

  Is there some method to get the value in the format of [NameValueListBase<string, string>.NameValuePair] from the datagridview's combobox column ?
