Listbox / Combobox with multiple fields as displaymemberdisplaymember. Both controls allow only one field as displaymember. I need the display member to look like this (the columns should be left aligned), where each columns represents a field in the underlying datatable: 001 SomeText 987654321 002 SomeText 1 123456789 003 SomeText 100 321456987 I am using Visual Basic .Net 2005 Can anybody help me with this? Sergio,
