| You can fill a ComboBox with non-string items
such as business objects. By default, the ComboBox will call ToString() on
each of the items to generate the display text (visible text). Rather than
rely on ToString(), you can have the ComboBox use one of the properties on the
contained objects (business object) as the display text. To do this, set the
ComboBox.DisplayMember to the property name you want to use for the display
text. You can also set the ValueMember to a property on the contained objects
that represents the object unique key. You can then use the ComboBox
SelectedValue property to set the ComboBox selected item via object key. |
