Question

I got the System.Data.DataRowView when I tried to select the data from sql database. These are my code:

......
myCommand = New SqlCommand("SELECT FirstName +' '+ LastName FROM tblVisitor", myConnection)
myAdapter = New SqlDataAdapter(myCommand)
myAdapter.Fill(myDataSet, "tblVisitor")
cboName.DataSource = myDataSet.Tables(0)
cboName.DisplayMember = "FirstName"
cboName.DisplayMember = "LastName"
cboName.ValueMember = "FirstName"
cboName.ValueMember = "LastName"
..............

and I got the above error. Please help.

Answer 1

Your SelectCommand does neither return a column LastName nor FirstName. You are only returning one column(a concatenation of both columns).

So this should work:

myCommand = New SqlCommand("SELECT VisitorID, LastName, FirstName, (FirstName +' '+ LastName)As FullName FROM tblVisitor", myConnection)
myAdapter = New SqlDataAdapter(myCommand)
myAdapter.Fill(myDataSet, "tblVisitor")
cboName.DataSource = myDataSet.Tables(0)
cboName.DisplayMember = "FullName"
cboName.ValueMember = "VisitorID" 'change to the correct pk-column'
