Hi thanks for the reference provided, but I am not interested in writing code for populating multiple columns, instead i am searching for the Property for Combobox where
I can select the colums to be shown ( for example : Display Member there is only one column I can select, is there an option to select multiple columns as Display member)
C#

You may encapsulate your data in one class and override it's ToString() method so you can generate the text you want to show in the combobox. Dirty but works.
