I understand the properties but don't understand where "EmpID" and "EmpName"
come from.
What are these names of? What kind of object do they belong too?
ArrayList, Class etc.
See I assume you set the DataSource to an object like an arraylist. Using
your example:
struct Employee
{
int EmpId;
string EmpName;
....other code for structure
}
ArrayList Employees;
(add empolyees to the list)
ListControl.DataSource = Employees;
ListControl.DisplayMember = "EmpName";
ListControl.DisplayValue = "EmpId";
blah, blah, blah....
The above will throw an exception, saying something like "Can't Set
DisplayMember".
Thanks again,
Eric
