Question

portfolioHeaders = PortfolioService.GetPortfolioHeadersByQuery();

List<PortfolioHeaders> list = new List<PortfolioHeaders>;
list.AddRange(portfolioHeaders);

The above is the code.

the output of it will be ID, Name, Type and Modified Date.

when i use the list to Grid Datasource i could see all the records coming out perfectly.

Now My question is

I jUst want only the Name to be displayed in the ComboBox and ignoring the other things.

can anyone suggest me a way to do it

Answer 1

Use the DisplayMember attribute of your binding:

List<MyHeaders> headers = new List<MyHeaders>();
headers.Add( new MyHeaders{ID=10, Name="Yo"} );
headers.Add( new MyHeaders{ID=2, Name="OY"} );
headers.Add( new MyHeaders{ID=3, Name="Pickles"} );
headers.Add( new MyHeaders{ID=4, Name="Florky"} );

this.comboBox1.DataSource = headers;
this.comboBox1.DisplayMember = "Name";
this.comboBox1.ValueMember = "ID";
