C#, Database Binding to ComboBox

[duke55]

I have bounded a simple database, employee’s last name and first name to a combo box. Now I want the output to show the last name, separated by a comma, followed by first name (Smith, John). The smart tag of the comboBox only allows me to display either the first name or the last name. I tried bunch of setting in ‘add query’ and properties to no avail.

Thank you

Thank you

have u tried selecting your records like
SELECT lastname+','+fi rstname FROM Tablename ?????

It wouldn’t allow me to save the new query. The error message is: “The schema returned by the new query differs from the base query.” Then the only choice is OK and I have to cancel the new query. But your schema works, during the query builder and Execute Query, it shows the right order of names, but it wouldn’t let me save it. Have any other thoughts???

Thanks

Thanks, dip_developer

It worked, I had to change the properties in ‘edit dataset with designer’ to your scheme and it worked.

Thanks again.
