How do I bind a ComboBox so the displaymember is concat of 2 fields of source datatable?

Question

I\'d like to bind a ComboBox to a DataTable (I cannot alter its original schema)

cbo.DataSource = tbldata;
cbo.DataTextField = \"Na         


        

Answer 1

The easiest way is to create a new calculated column in the DataTable, using the Expression property :

tbldata.Columns.Add("FullName", typeof(string), "Name + ' ' + Surname");
...
cbo.DataTextField = "FullName";
