Here is the obj def:

 class TestScanOrder
{
    public long OrderCodeField { get; set; }

    public long PatientCodeField { get; set; }

    public string PatientNameField { get; set; }

    public string PatientVal { get; set; }

    public DateTime DateTimeField { get; set; }


    public TestScanOrder(DateTime dt,long order,long pateintCode,string patientName,string patientVal)
    {
        DateTimeField = dt;
        OrderCodeField = order;
        PatientCodeField = pateintCode;
        PatientNameField = patientName;
        PatientVal = patientVal;
    }

And list is

TestScanOrder[] list = new TestScanOrder[]{ new TestScanOrder( Convert.ToDateTime("06/24/2015"), 1910, 65547, "Raja", 65547 + "~" + 1910 + "~" + 1 ), new TestScanOrder(Convert.ToDateTime("06/25/2015"), 1911, 65548, "Roja", 65548 + "~" + 1911 + "~" + 1 ), new TestScanOrder( Convert.ToDateTime("06/26/2015"), 1912, 65549, "Peter", 65549 + "~" + 1912 + "~" + 2 ), new TestScanOrder( Convert.ToDateTime("06/27/2015"), 1913, 65550, "jaya", 65550 + "~" + 1913 + "~" + 2 ), new TestScanOrder(Convert.ToDateTime("06/28/2015"), 1914, 65551, "Vijaya", 65551 + "~" + 1914 + "~" + 1 ) };

cbPatients.DisplayMember = "PatientName";
cbPatients.DataSource = list;
cbPatients.ValueMember = null;

How Can get the PatientName in combobox Please help me out these problem

Solution

  • In the "TestScanOrder" class the property for patient name is "PatientNameField", so use the following to specify the display member of the combo box - 

    cbPatients.DisplayMember = "PatientNameField";

    When invalid property name is specified for display member, the code will not break, and instead populate the combo with the fully qualified name of the class in data source.
