Catch ex as exception

messagebox.show( ex.toString() )

End Try

hi Fergus,

I set the datasource for the combo(cmbTrmCde) to a
datatable (dt) at the form loading stage. when I check
for the selectvalue at the selectindexchange event, it
sometime throws error that it can't read b'cos it
is "System.Data.DataRowView" type. So I have to write the
additional codes to work around it by handling the
exception... I may have missed something that caused the
selectedvalue became "datarowview" type, any suggestion??

Rgds,

Albert
