Hi there.

I want to add multiple columns to a Listbox through 3-tier architecture. Currently everything works fine except that it only adds one column and not the two.

WORKING CODE (PRESENTATION LAYER)
lstClass = blayer.GetListClass((int)number, (string)name); 
listBox2.DataSource = lstClass;  
listBox2.ValueMember = "classId";
listBox2.DisplayMember = "className";

I want to add both classId & className to the Listbox. I've tried multiple solutions but none work. Any advise please?

Regards

Solution 1

ListBox doesn't support multiple columns. Use a ListView.

Solution 2

listBox1.Items.Add("Class Id\tClass Name");

When i do it that way, it works perfectly fine but i cant do it for multiple data through 3-tier. Thank you Shameel. I will give it a go.
