combobox databinding

[HRHK]

I am trying to bind combobox to a datatable (i.e.. dtInvoice). It's not working as I thought. It won't bind and display the correct value. When I check the data table, it has value (i.e. inv_status_id = 1) required for binding. Any suggestions are welcome. Thanks.


cbInvStatus.DataBindings.Add("SelectedValue", dtInvoice, "inv_status_id")

Just a suggestion, which I have not tried it yet. But I'm sure it will lead you in the correct solution.

dim row as datarow
for each row in dtinvoice.tables(0).rows
cboBox.Items.Add(row.Item(0))
next

The combobox is binded to a dataset like below.

bc = New BindingContext()
cbInvoiceStatus.BindingContext = bc
With cbInvoiceStatus
.Items.Clear()
.DataSource = dsInvoiceDetails.Tables ("t_invoice_status")
.ValueMember = "inv_status_id"
.DisplayMember = "status_desc"
.SelectedIndex = -1
End With
