GDBGComboBox drop down bound to a dataset

[Iain Holder]

Hello

I have a GridDataBoundGrid bound to a dataset with two columns.

One of those columns is a ComboBox in drop down mode which is bound to a second data set containing the possible values which can be selected.

The problem is that when an item from the dropdown is selected, instead of the selected item being shown, I am instead getting

System.Data.DataRowView

How can I get it to show the selected value?

Please find an example sln attached.

GridDataBoundGrid does not support 'dots' in the DisplayMember and ValueMembers on a combobox cell. It expects the DataSource to be a DataTable or DataView and the DisplayMember and ValueMember just to be the property name.

So, if you have this code in your form.Load, the problem goes away (making the DataSource be the Datatable and not the DataSet).

private void Form1_Load(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
		{
            PopulateDataSets();
            this.gridBoundColumn3.StyleInfo.DataSource = this.iainTest1.WooRatings;
            this.gridBoundColumn3.StyleInfo.DisplayMember = "WebsiteName";
            this.gridBoundColumn3.StyleInfo.ValueMember = "WebsiteName";
		}
