If the the combo box is filled from a database of names (this Works)

FullName,Code

in databindings:
Items is set to Fullname
SelectedItem is set to Code

using the supplied example

MyVariable = ComboBox.SelectedItem.ToString()

Results in MyVariable = FullName NOT Code as required

Yes, the ComboBox is working now only for one field from the DataSource. If you need to select some additional field from the DataSource, e.g. Code, then some additional programming must be done.

in databindings:
Items is set to Fullname
SelectedItem is set to Code

using the supplied example

MyVariable = ComboBox.SelectedItem.ToString()

Results in MyVariable = FullName NOT Code as required

We'll post the result of our investigations about this a bit later.

Thank you.

You can use one trick if you want to retrieve a column from the DataSource using SelectedIndex property of the Combobox:

Code: Select all

string AnotherValueFromThisRow = comboBox.SelectedIndex ==-1?"":MyDataSource.GetData("ColumnName", comboBox.SelectedIndex).ToString();

Please download sample report for the Demo.exe application again.

Thank you.

Thanks for that
Now it works :biggrin:

It really was a trick but it worked and you can use it for retrieving as much fields from the 'selected' datasource row as you need it.

Thank you.
