can a datagrid cell display one thing but have a different value, like a list box?

[fguihen]

in a list box you can have a selected item, and a selected value. the items are shown in the list box and when you select one you can use the underlying selected value.

eg.

 

select "jimmy" in the list box, and the selected value property might be something like "cust_03".

 

is this possible with cells in a datagrid?

if you are using a dataset you can get access to the original and current value using:

 

System.Data.DataRowVersion.Current

System.Data.DataRowVersion.Original

 

			MessageBox.Show("CurrentValue: " + dataSet11.Tables[0].Rows[dataGrid1.CurrentRowIndex][dataGrid1.CurrentCell.ColumnNumber,System.Data.DataRowVersion.Current].ToString());
		MessageBox.Show("OriginalValue: " + dataSet11.Tables[0].Rows[dataGrid1.CurrentRowIndex][dataGrid1.CurrentCell.ColumnNumber,System.Data.DataRowVersion.Original].ToString());

 

I hope this helps,
