I have a form that contains a field that is a Foreign Key (UserID)
I want this control to have a "label" appearance but I want it to act as a
lookup table (SelectedValue = FKID, SelectedText = "Joe Blow"). Using a
ComboBox control is the only way I've found to do this (and its actually
really easy) but I haven't found a way to disable everything and make that
combo box just look like a standard label. The label control doesn't seem
to have any of the data binding I need.
Thanks,
Ryan

Hi Ryan,
Thank you for your post.
Based on my understanding, your question is how to bind a Label to data
source and have it show the text with a field, while saving another field
in its state which will be used to lookup other data. If I've misunderstood
anything, please feel free to post here.
In VS2005, you can use Label's built-in databinding feature to do this:
1) Add a Label, open its properties window
2) Look for "(DataBindings) ", expand it, click the "..." of "(Advanced) ",
this will open its databinding dialog
3) In the "Common" category, there're two properties, "Text" will be used
to display a field that user can see, for example "UserName"; "Tag" will be
used to store another field can be used to lookup, for example "UserID".
Hope this helps. Please feel free to post here if anything is unclear.

Walter,
Thanks I was wondering if the Tag databinding was what I was looking for.
Looks like it is.

I'm trying to do a lookup from a table where an ID number equals a

how to display the data in the fashion I need.
In the first table (user_contact), I have contact info for each user
and the user ID. In the second table (user_info), each user ID will
have a primary genre, and an alternate genre (as an ID number). The
third table holds the lookup information for...

Hi-
I've seen this problem discussed a jillion times but I cannot seem to
implement any advice that makes it work. I am porting a large project from
VB6 to .NET. The issue is using the combo box bound to a table as a lookup,
drawing values from another table to populate the available selections. This
all worked fine in VB6.
I have distilled the problem down to a simple form drawing data from the
