Combo box with IDs - Repost with new question

[Gerry]

I have a combo box and I can populate it with my class of dat
(the class allows me to store each userid,username called - see code below

I want the user to select the dropdown and see the username - but also determine the UserID from what was selected
(using DisplayName from the combo box??

I can populate the combo box without problems - BUT the user sees "System.object[]" in each item of the combobox not the username

***here is my clas
Public Class clsUser
Private msUserName As Strin
Private miUserID As Intege
Public Sub New(ByVal vsUserName As String, ByVal viUserID As Integer
msUserName = vsUserNam
miUserID = viUserI
End Su

Public Property UserName() As Strin
Ge
Return msUserNam
End Ge
Set(ByVal Value As String
msUserName = Valu
End Se
End Propert
Public Property UserID() As Intege
Ge
Return miUserI
End Ge
Set(ByVal Value As Integer
miUserID = Valu
End Se
End Propert
End Clas

thank yo

Thanks - that did the trick.

I think this'll work... add this to your class:

Public Overrides Function ToString() As String
Return msUserName
End Function
