2 listbox questions

When loading my listbox, if the following gives me just the employeeID number;

Dim dv As DataView = dsEmployeeTree. Tables("SuperIn fo").DefaultVie w
Me.lbxEmployee. DataSource = dv
Me.lbxEmployee. DisplayMember = "employeeid "
And the following gives me the full name of the employee;

Dim dv As DataView = dsEmployeeTree. Tables("SuperIn fo").DefaultVie w
Me.lbxEmployee. DataSource = dv
Me.lbxEmployee. DisplayMember = "FullName"

What must I do to concatenate the two into a field that gives the following:

“employeeID, FullName”?

Now, in a lbxEmployee_Sel ectedIndexChang ed procedure…
And, assuming that employeeID is displayed in the listbox, after I select
that item, why can’t I do the following:

strEmpString = CType(lbxEmploy ee.SelectedItem , String)

without getting the error, “Cast from type 'DataRowView' to type 'String' is
not valid”?

Thanks for helping me out on this!

I am using the following code: calibIndex=SendMessage(hWnd,(UINT)IDC_LIST_CALIBOPTS,(WPARAM)0, LPARAM)0); SendMessage(hWnd,(UINT)LB_GETTEXT,(WPARAM)calibIndex,(LPARAM)selectedCalib); Where IDC_LIST_CALIBOPTS is the list and selectedCalib is the variable where I want the value to go.

For some reason I cannot get the OnSelectedIndexChanged event to fire for a listbox I have on a page. I'm able to populate the listbox with data from a stored procedure, but cannot trigger the event. I do have EnableViewState = True for the listbox. I'm imagining (wanting) to populate the listbox named: lstNames by using the DataValueField from lstDepartments. It's quite apparent though that the event is not triggering as I can misname...

I want to represent a list of items as a heirarchy by, indenting each item by a set amount depending on its level. For example level 1 = no spaces, level 1 = 2 spaces etc. If I try too use leading spaces or tabs to do this the control removes them. Is there a way to do this? Mike

Hi. I have a form with a listbox and a few label fields all bound to a dataset. When i navigate the listbox the labels change accordingly. so far everything works good. I made a button to delete a record. I delete the row from the datatable and update the database with the adapter and that all works good. The record is removed from the listbox. Here is my problem.

I then decided that I wanted to display a longer text description of

(If you've seen this in the drawing NG, sorry. I inadvertently sent it there.) I have a listbox populated with Objects. The Class has a String field that ToString returns. I assume that is what the ListBox uses for its display. Correct?
