ListBox1.SelectedItem ??

I admit it that this bug is getting me crazy !!aaah . I've been using it this way all the way long but today I don't understand what's wrong (no bindings at all) ! It shows me this value as msgbox :

System.Data.DataRowView

I always use this way !
MsgBox(ListBox1.SelectedItem.ToString)

Can anyone figure out what's up !

Hi,
i have seen that problem too... it is in the databinding....but I do not remember what i did to fix it. i think i remember that you had to in source associate only with the dataset then in the datamember associate with the ttable and the column...

but I have been frustrated with it too.

anyone know exactly why it does this?

I hate this word "DataBinding" so I would never use it !

Whether you bound the control or just filled the the items collection, you put a DataView or Rows in there and that is what they return from a ToString call. Try using SelectedText instead or setting the Displaymember property to one of the field names.

It doesn't make any difference . I did that and went further to get selecteditem based on selectedindex with no luck . This is the first time I get such error . btw , I'm having this listbox in a panel , Do you think (well I don't...lol ) it's causing problems ?

What didn't make a difference? The displaymember? Or SelectedText?

Also post your offending code as well as the code you are using to fill the listbox.

maybe....this.....
I think you couldn't get the text which selected in the listbox, am I correct? If YES....
Maybe you can try this code...
VB Code:
```
msgbox(ListBox1.GetItemText(ListBox1.SelectedItem))
```

I'm using the same code which was taken from another working project . The function is correct I'm quite sure . I checked every line to see if there is something wrong but still can't get it to work . It's kind of weird bug . I'll wait till I buy this VS.NET2003 and finish my project agains 1.1 version . thanx thought for your reply !
