    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?

    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:
    1. 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 !
