Want to change the label of a Read Only Text box

G F

Hi,

I have a list box, lstjurisdictions, and when the form loads it loads records from a database.

When I select one of the items in the list box, I would like the label of a Text box to change instantly.

When I use the following code:

All I get is the message: System.Data.DataRowView

as a label on the TextBox.

How can I get the Name of the label to change dynamically as the slected item from the list box changes?

Thank you!

GF,

((ListBoxItem)lstJurisdictions.SelectedItem).Conent.ToString();

or

lstJurisdictions.SelectedItem.Text.

one of them should give you display value.

Thank you Amit and Ashutosh for your replies.

Amit, I tried your solution, and it almost worked, it returned the number of the item in the column, not the name. So the result was a number, not the text. So very close, thank you!

Ashutosh, your second solution was the same result as mine, but when I looked at your first, I was able to get it working with this re write of the code:

string temp = lstJurisdictions.GetItemText(lstJurisdictions.SelectedItem);
textBox3.Text = temp;

Thank you again for the help! :)
