Hi everyone,

Is it possible to bind the DataTextField property to two values from a
database.

I would like the text from column("book") and the text from
column("code") to appear in the DataTextField of a dropdown.

If this is not possible is there are work around?


Thanks


Angela
 
I'm sure there are many approaches to this, but I would do it inside
OnItemDataBind. Create a datarowview, and process information as necessary.
 
You can accomplish this easily by creating the item displayed in your SQL
statement:
Select book + ' ' + code as BookCode from (YourTableName)
Then, use 'BookCode' as your DataTextField
