bound listbox selection

[David]

Hello,
VB.NET
I have a listbox bound to a table in a dataset and I need to select
an item and copy its text value to a string variable.
Currently I have it set up like this

dim sItem as String
sItem=ListBox1.SelectedItems.ToString()

but the value stored in the variable is "System.Data.DataRowView" instead of
the selected text.


Any help would be great.
Thanks
David

Hi,

Try something like this.

dim sItem as String
Try
Dim drv as datarowview = Ctype(listbox1.selecteditem, datarowview)
sItem = drv.item("MyColumn").tostring
Catch

end try
