I have two different tables and a combo box,

I trying to write the code so that (for example) if I select "sweets" in the combo box, the sweets table is displayed in the dataGridView1, and if I select "Chocolate" the chocolate table is displayed in the dataGridView1 instead.

So far all i have for code is ....

C#

private void comboBox1_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            if (comboBox1.SelectedText == "Sweets")
            {
                DataGridView = SweetsInventoryDataSet;
            }

Is it possible to do this?

What I have tried:

C#

private void comboBox1_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            if (comboBox1.SelectedText == "Sweets")
            {
                DataGridView = SweetsInventoryDataSet;
            }

You are in the right direction, keep going.
Fews corrections : to set a grid data, you need to use its DataSource propertie, and call databound after that.
DataGridView.DataSource = SweetsInventoryDataSet;
DataGridView.DataBind();
