Question Data Binding Issues

[Kiran Dhananjayan]

Hi all,
I am creating a database for Employees. In that I have some issues.

I am trying to bind my data using data source. In the list box properties I set
lstemp.Datasource = Employeedatabase
lstemp.Displaymember = "EmplyeeName"
lstemp.Valuemember = "EmplyeeId"

I want to get my employee Id for displaying data in text boxes. How can get the data of the highlighted employee name in the list box to text boxes

Regards,
Kiran

First up, let me make a small note that you should be setting the DisplayMember at least BEFORE setting the DataSource. I tend to set the ValueMember first too but I'm not sure that that makes any difference.

As for the question, given that you're already using data-binding, you should bind your TextBox too, e.g.

myTextBox.DataBindings.Add("Text", Employeedatabase, "EmplyeeId")

I'd also recommend that you spell "Employee" correctly in your column names.
