DisplayMember is being ignored

Hi,

I have the following code to set the DataSource of a ComboBox to a certain
table in an untyped DataSet, and I also want to set the DisplayMamaber of the
ComboBox to a certain column:

cmbID.DataSourc e = Me.Ds.Tables("G roups")
Dim str As String = Me.Ds.Tables("G roups").Columns ("CustomerID"). ColumnName
Me.cmbCustomerI D.DisplayMember = str

Problem is, I have stepped through this code, and str is assigned the value
"CustomerID ". I then step over the line where str is assigned as the
DisplayMember. However, the value of DisplayMember remains at "". The
ComboBox is populated with the appropriate number of items, but each simply
says "System.Data.Da taRowView".

Any ideas? The code was fine, no changes were made, it just suddenly
doesn't like it. I then changed some code in another class, ran it, and the
ComboBox populated fine. I Ran it again, broken again. Most baffling.

Hi, I have a listbox with displaymember that I combined 3 columns together. After the user made the selection I then need to get each one the of the selected valuemember but then I don't want the displaymember. I only want 2 of the columns of that made up the displaymember.

I've created an aspx page that should time out every time it is executed, yet it never does.

Hello, I have a listbox which is bound to a datatable. I have set the displaymember and valuemember and all works well: the user dbl clicks an item in the list box, I use the valuemember to retrieve some values. However, I would like a label to display the displaymember value that was selected by the user. I am assuming this is a datarow(?). How does one do this? Below is my code for populating the listbox: Dim dtChgDept As New DataTable...

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