WinForms combobox with multiple columns (C#)?

Question

I am using currently the following code to populate a combobox:

combobox.DataSource = datatable;
combobox.DisplayMember = \"Auftragsnummer\";
combobox.ValueM         


        

Answer 1

The full C# solution I provided for a Multicolumn Combo Box caused a problem when debugging in the app that used it. The problem was with the line "DateTime dt = DateTime.Parse(strColumnText);" in the method "IsDate" here is a new version of the method that uses DateTimeTryparse" instead: I have replaced the faulty version in the original. (N B For all its faults, it works!) cheers, Bruce Caldwell

     private bool IsDate(string strColumnText)
    {
        DateTime dateValue;

        if (DateTime.TryParse(strColumnText, out dateValue))
        {
            return true;
        }
        else
        {
            return false;
        }
    } // end sub
