Having trouble populating datagridviewer column. Please help

[tgf-47]

I have the following dataset and datatable:

Dim topics As New DataSet()
    Public Function JT_PullData(ByVal TableName As String) As DataTable
        If topics.Tables.Count >= 1 Then
            topics.Clear()
            names = Nothing
            intSetArray = 0
            i = 0
        End If
 
        Dim conn As String = "Server=192.168.0.36;Port=3306;Database=wc;Uid=root;Pwd=123454321"
        Dim cmd As String = "SELECT * FROM " & TableName
        Dim ad As New MySql.Data.MySqlClient.MySqlDataAdapter(cmd, conn)
 
        ad.GetFillParameters()
        ad.Fill(topics)
 
        Dim dr As DataRow
        Dim dt As DataTable
        dt = topics.Tables(0)
        intSetArray = dt.Rows.Count
        ReDim names(intSetArray, 4)
 
        For Each dr In dt.Rows
            names(i, 1) = dr(1) 'Username
            names(i, 2) = dr(2) 'Password
            names(i, 3) = dr(3) 'Active
            names(i, 4) = dr(4) 'Accesslevel
            i += 1
        Next
        topics.Dispose()
        JT_PullData = topics.Tables(0)
    End Function

Now I have a column in my DataGridViewer that is a dropdown list. This list is to be populated by the datasel above.

I can't seem to get it to work. Help me, please

Here is an image:


I am supposed to set the dataset and then set the values that would be shown. (all by code )

Each of those you see are properties in code.

DataGridView1.Datasource = dt (if for some reason you can't set a datatable as a source, add the table to a data set and then use the dataset as a source)

DataGridView1.DisplayMember = "Name of your Column"
DataGridView1.ValueMember = "Name of your Column" (this is usually a PK or ID type field)

I do get
DataGridView1.Datasource

But I cant find the DisplayMember and ValueMember Properties for some weird reason. Any Ideas?

[BackWoodsCoder]

That's because I was wrong assuming the display and value members were properties of the columns of your data grid view. They're actually properties of the comboboxcolumn itself.

 
Dim comboboxcol As DataGridViewComboBoxColumn = Me.DataGridView1.Columns("NameOfCol")
        comboboxcol.DisplayMember =
        comboboxcol.ValueMember =

You could always add the column in by code rather through the designer.
