get the row of a dataset bound to a combobox

[Guest]

Hi everyone,

I've bound a dataset to a combox.
When I select a value from that combobox, I want the values from the whole
row of the dataset/table, not only the DisplayText.
How can I do that?

thanks

Filip

sorry, but

MessageBox.Show(BindingContext(ComboBox1.DataSource).Current.Item("OtherColumn"))

doesn't wrok. The erros is that BindingContext is a property and not a method

You can call SelectedValue() and typecast the return value to either DataRow
or DataRowView. I can't remember which of the two so check it out...
