Newbe ValueMember property question

Sorry. The other post got sent before I was complete.

Does the ValueMember property in the ComboBox work like the DisplayMember
property. For example, if I set the properties:

comboBox1.DataS ource = dataSet1
comboBox1.Displ ayMember ="Employees.Las tName"
comboBox1.Value Member = "Employees.Empl oyeeID"

If I select from the box a "LastName", I can retrive that selected name. How
do I retrieve the "ValueMembe r" setting, ie the "EmployeeID " for the
selected "LastName."

Or, isn't that the way ValueMember works? Is so, how does it work and how is
it used. I'm looking for a replacement for the VB.Compatibilit y
"VB6.GetItemDat a."

Thank you..

If you have a comboBox which has it's DisplayMember and ValueMenber bound to a datatable. If I know the "ValueMember" value - is there a way for me to set the index of the control to correspond to that ValueMember without having to iterate over the values in the control to find the index of the matching value menber? There is a "FindString" method of the ComboBox which apparently iterates over the collection looking form a match on...

I have implemented a combobox and have set the DataSource to an ArrayList. I next set the DisplayMember and ValueMember properties. When I run the code the combobox will display the proper text set by DisplayMember but it seems that the ValueMember doesn't work correct because when I go to use the SelectValue property it never displays the correct text in the combobox. Here is an example of my code:

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
