Combobox and DataSource

[Bruce D]

I'm thinking this shouldn't be hard...but I can't seem to grasp what I need
to do here. I have a datagrid on my form (datasource=dtUsers). This
datagrid displays three fields username, password, level. In the database I
have the level as a 1 character field (1,2,3...). The data displays
properly in the datagrid.
I have a textbox below the datagrid. I have put this code in the load event
of the form:
Me.txtUsername.DataBindings.Add("Text", dtUsers, "username")
The textbox works as it should...as I click on different users in the grid
the username changes in the textbox.

So, here's my question.
I want to create a combobox that will display the level...but I want to use
1=User, 2=Admin, etc.
I'm trying to figure out how to do this. I created a DT to match up the
values, but I'm not sure how to bind them and so on...

Can anyone help point me in the right direction?

Bruce,

There is on difference with the dataset you have as well to tell what is the
displaymember and what is the valuemember.

cmb.displaymemer = "mycolumn1"
cmb.valuemember = "mycolumn2"

I hope this helps,

Cor

Cor,
Maybe I didn't explain my question very well...or I don't understand your
answer. Here's my DT:
dtUsers with fields username,password,level
examples:
bob,xx,1
jane,qa,2
This is what I want to display in the datagrid...yea...that's simple.
The hard part....I want the combobox (located just below the datagrid) to
display "administrator" when I'm on the record for "bob" and I want it to
display "user" when I'm on the record for "jane".
I was thinking I need to create another datatable with two fields
(val,display) and it would look something like:
1,"administrator"
2,"user"
etc
I can create this datatable and display it...but when I change the cell on
the datagrid I want the value to change in the combobox..

Any more insight?

Bruce,

Outside is not so clever, I thought that I have once made a sample for that.
However why not inside.

In this message is the sample that as far as I remember me does what you
ask.

I am not sure, however try it yourself, because here it is late.
