I'm trying to use your ListBox control (winform) and when I access the ValueMember property, the value is always "value". I have it setup to CopyDataFrom() and have set the ValueMember in the PopulationDataSourceSettings. It is hitting a business object that is correctly populated. How do I get the current value for the selected item within the list?

Oops. Sorry. Posted this reply to wrong topic!



However, on the original topic, the ValueMember sets the column that the SelectedValue property returns at runtime (not the Tag property). It's right there in the help file! DOH! Anyway it is working fine now.

After looking at your sample a little closer, there is a workaround which will save us both some time.  If you take the exact same test and have it bound to data, it works.  Also, if you set the RawText property through code, it works.  The only time there is an issue is when the Text property is set within the designer.  So, to work around the problem, just set the RawText property in code or bind the control to a business object field and this will resolve the behavior you're encountering.

Cool. I set RawText via code and it works! This is much more realistic usage in any case (or binding to data).

Exactly...that is why we had not yet run into this
