Sample: Concatenating data source properties using the Format event (VS 2005) (VS Project: ComboBoxBinding)

/* Need to add a using statement for System.Globalization */

/* Bind a ComboBox (culturesCB) to a current framework cultures */

this.culturesCB.ValueMember = "LCID";

this.culturesCB.DataSource = CultureInfo.GetCultures(CultureTypes.FrameworkCultures);

/* Set the currently selected item in the ComboBox */

this.culturesCB.SelectedValue = CultureInfo.CurrentCulture.LCID;

/* Concatenate the IetfLanguageTag and DisplayName properties */

this.culturesCB.Format += delegate(object cb, ListControlConvertEventArgs args)

{

CultureInfo ci = (args.ListItem as CultureInfo);

if (null != ci)

{

args.Value = string.Format("{0}: {1}", ci.IetfLanguageTag, ci.DisplayName);

}

};
