Populating CheckedListBox with objects

[JediDan]

Hello,

I'm trying to dynamically populate a CheckedListBox with objects that have a string property (name) and a numeric property (id). The control populates, but displays the name of my class (testproject.Player) even though I have a ToString() method in my class.

Here's the code:

//Class definition
public class Player
{
	public string playername;
	public int playernbr;

	public Player(string name,int id)
	{
	     this.playername = name;
	     this.playernbr = id;
	}

	public string ToString()
	{
		return this.playername;
	}
}

//Control population
Player p = new Player("Dan",0);

MessageBox.Show(p.ToString());			

clbPlayers.Items.Add(p,false);

The message box returns what we expect it to ("Dan").

Any help is much appreciated.

and it doesn't give you an error?

Try

protected override string ToString()

see if it can be overriden.

That did it! Actually, it had to be public override ToString(), but whatever.

Thanks for your help.
