Combobox

Hi
I'm using this code to display the selected item in msgbox
Dim ob As Object
ob = cmbCategory.SelectedItem
MsgBox(ob.ToString())
but all what I see is "System.Data.DataRowView", and the same result with
cmbCategory.Text .

thanks

Try

MsgBox (ComboBox1.Items(ComboBox1.SelectedIndex).ToString )

Your objects in the combo box are of type "System.Data.DataRowView" whose
"ToString" method returns the object's type name. Also, the text placed
into the combo items will be whatever the object's "ToString" method returns
unless you are using binding. I believe that if you are binding the combo
box to a DataView object, you need to set the ValueMember and DisplayMember
properties of the combo box.

Yes I'm binding it to a dataset like this:
cmbCategory.DataSource = Qds.Tables(0)
cmbCategory.DisplayMember = "Category"
where Category is the column that exist in the Qds.Table(0).
but how can I set the ValueMember!!!?
