Array of datarows

[Brian Henry]

If I have an array of data rows, how do i bind a listbox to that array of
rows and show whats in a column? right now if i bind to the array it just
shows "System.Data.DataRow" as the name, but if i bind to a table with the
same rows it works.

Hi Brian,

I am not sure on this but I think you won't be able to achieve it.
Instead, use DataView as a datasource.

Are you settng the display/value members?

There's a really good example
http://www.akadia.com/services/dotnet_databinding.html on how to do it with
an array right here under the combobox section.

Thanks for Bill and Miha's quick response!

Hi Brian,

First of all, I would like to confirm my understanding of your issue. From
your description, I understand that when binding to an array of DataRows,
the data on the ListBox cannot be shown correctly. If there is any
misunderstanding, please feel free to let me know.

I agree with Bill's suggestion. Based on my experience, this happens when
the DisplayMemeber or ValueMember property of that LisBox was not set
properly. So please check your code to see if these two properties have
been set.

HTH. If anything is unclear, please feel free to reply to the post.

Thanks Kevin,

I have checked them and they are correct. For now I decided to take another
rout to do the same thing. It seems to be working fine with the changes I
decided to make. Thanks for all the help
