Using a combobox to refresh form data

Question

I have a combobox on a form. I have a datatable that the form controls (textboxes checkboxes) are bound to. The combobox will need to change/refresh the data based on the selection. So when a user selects another item in the combobox the appropriate row data from the datatable is displayed. I have a private method called databind() that is called in form_load that binds the data to the controls on the form. I assume that when the cbo_SelectedIndexChanged event first i want to walk through my datatable and find the right row then rebind. I am not sure how to pull that off. Thanks in advance for any help.

Load the combobox with a class/Object //create a class like below Class Employee { private string sName; private string sID; Public string Name() { set { sName = value; } get { return sName ; } } Public string EMpID() { set { sID = value; } get { return sID; } } } // In ur form follow the code  sorry presently I ve not tested my code but the logic is given below //Load Combo with List of Employee //get from database dr is the data reader List lstEmp = new List (); //for loop Employee obj = new Employee(); obj.Name = dr(EmpName); obj.EMpID = dr(ID); lstEmp.add(obj); //End of for loop combo1.Datasource = lstEmp; combo1.DisplayMember = Name; combo1.DisplayMember = EMpID; //in selectedindex changed get the selectedItem Employee obj = (Employee) Combo1.selectedItem() //will reurn the Employee object //You can display like this textbox1.text = obj.Name; textbox2.text = obj.EMpID; Thanks.. it may help u.
