I have a number of grid columns where i want to display two columns from a foreign key table - both in the grid and in a combo drop down for selection. I can't see how to do this - or this something that i need to add code to achieve?

regards

Paul

Hi Paul,

Based on my understanding, you want to bind the ComboBox to a table (may be datatable) and show multi-column when dropped down. That ComboBox will be used in DataGridView. Do I understand it correctly?

If so, here is an example of multi-column ComboBox.

When you use it in DataGridView, you can handle the CellBeginEdit event to place the ComboBox below the current editing cell. Please download the whole sample from my skydrive.

If you have anything unclear, please feel free to tell me.
