databinding to a combobox - Valuemember

[haezeban]

Hey,

 

I try to bind a datasource to my combobox. The datasource is an array of objects.

 

Then I set the cmb01.displaymember = "Propertyname1".

Till here everything works fine.

But then I will also set the valuemember like this :

cmb01.ValueMember = "PopertyName2".

 

At runtime I receive always following exception :

 

"Could not bind to new display member. Parametername is newdisplaymember"

 

 

What will this mean? And how I have to resolve it?

 

Tkx,

Jac

Suppose the name of your dataset is ds. Try this:

cmb01.DataSource = ds.Tables(0)
cmb01.DisplayMember = "PropertyName1"
cmb01.ValueMember = ds.Tables(0).Columns(0).ToString

Hope that helps.

Spiel,

 

I found if the second property wasn't a property but a field.

So, I changed it to a property and now it works.

 

Thx
