Databinding Textbox & combo

For this you can bind the the column 1 to the datatextfiled of the combo box & in datavaluevalue field as the column2 when you are binding dataset to the combobox.

then on select inedx change you just need to get the selected value and put it into the textbox

Hi - Thanks for the fast response. I'm using .net 1.1I can't see the combo's datatextfiled and datavaluevalue  with telesense. Below is How I'm currently binding the combo. The way I have the textbox coded all I ever see is the column name rather than the desired respective description. THANKS

            public frmChangeHeadder()
            {
                  InitializeComponent();

                  dsHeadder = _cmd.PageHeadders();

                  cboHeadderName.DisplayMember = dsHeadder.Tables[0].Columns[1].ColumnName;
                  cboHeadderName.ValueMember = dsHeadder.Tables[0].Columns[1].ColumnName;
                  cboHeadderName.DataSource = dsHeadder.Tables[0];
            }


            private void cboHeadderName_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
            {
                  txtHeadderDescription.Text = dsHeadder.Tables[0].Columns[2]..ToString();
            }

DataTable FTable =
                        new DataTable();
                  System.Data.SqlClient.SqlDataAdapter FAdp = new System.Data.SqlClient.SqlDataAdapter
                        (AQuery,obj.Connection);
                  FAdp.Fill(FTable);
                  comboBox1.DataSource = FTable;
                  comboBox1.DisplayMember = "PRODUCTID";
                  comboBox1.ValueMember = "PRODUCTID";
                  textBox1.DataBindings.Add
                        ("Text",FTable,"PRODUCTID");

Text field means DisplayMember and value means ValueMember

pratima_mcs - thanks this seems to work

Only problem is later in my code I need to read the text value displayed in my combo. Whn I use cboHeadderName.SelectedValue.ToString() i get back the value in column 2 - i need column 1. How can I do this without affecting what we have already set up? Thanks again

There you can use

cboHeadderName.SelectedText.ToString()
OR
cboHeadderName.SelectedItem.Text.ToString()

Firstly I have nooption for Text after cboHeadderName.SelectedItem.

Next cboHeadderName.SelectedText.ToString(); returns "" , cboHeadderName.SelectedItem.ToString(); returns System.Data.DataRowView and cboHeadderName.SelectedValue.ToString(); as expected returns column2

This seems to have done the trick

                  string str_id_header = "";
                  System.Data.DataRowView ownerVal = (System.Data.DataRowView) cboHeadderName.SelectedItem;      
                  str_id_header = ownerVal.Row.ItemArray[1].ToString();

This is a clikd windo. When I complete a database update ugin the data I have the child window dissaears / closes. Any ideas why?
