Filling ComboBox using Column property?

[seidel1]

Is it possible to populate a ComboBox using the Columns property of a dataview? If so how?

[mendhak]

Do you mean the column name?

[seidel1]

Yes, Column Name

[seidel1]

Any recommendations on this?

Sorry, missed out on this one earlier. I don't have the IDE open, but try looking for a columns collection's .Name property. If not in a dataview, it should exist in a dataset.

Thanks Mendhak, I am making progress, but still missing one piece (I think)

Here's what I HAD
'cboFieldName.Items.Add("Student ID")
'cboFieldName.Items.Add("First Name")
'cboFieldName.Items.Add("Last Name")
'cboFieldName.Items.Add("Account Balance")
'cboFieldName.Items.Add("Employee")

Here's what I want...
cboFieldName.DataSource = m_dsStudents.Tables("Students")
cboFieldName.DisplayMember = "what goes here"

'From what I read the display member is looking for text. I want to pull the column headings. Any ideas?

[seidel1]

any ideas?

I have made some progress using:

For intIndex As Integer = 0 To m_dvStudents.Table.Columns.Count - 1
cboFieldName.Items.Add(m_dvStudents.Table.Columns(intIndex).ColumnName)
Next intIndex

But how do I use the "Value" of the Column vs the index?
