Can someone help me decifer this line of code? I saw it somewhere and have used it a couple of times but I'm not sure what the concept is called or why it works.



Me.cboDivisions.Properties.GetDataSourceRowByKeyValue(Me.cboDivisions.EditValue)("LocationID").ToString



If this piece of code were to take up two lines this is what it would look like this



Dim row As DataRowView = Me.cboDivisions.Properties.GetDataSourceRowByKeyValue(Me.cboDivisions.EditValue)

Messagebox.Show(row("LocationID").ToString)



I'm referring to the way I can butt the set of parenthesis together.



Thanks for the help.

In CSharp, the indexer properties cannot use the property name, but instead, they use the square brackets, so it looks like this instead:

this.cboDivisions.Properties.GetDataSourceRowByKeyValue(Me.cboDivisions.EditValue)["LocationID"].ToString();
