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

I would create a property on your data object then map that to the DataTextField

Data Object

public string FullName
{
  get { return Name + " " + Surname; }
}

Code-behind

cbo.DataSource = tbldata;
cbo.DataTextField = "FullName";
cbo.DataValueField = "GUID";
cbo.DataBind();
