Why do I get “System.Data.DataRowView” instead of real values in my WinForms Listbox?

by

I always have to deal with this problem, even if I set the DisplayMember and ValueMembers of the List Box.

Your current code is correct and should work, if you need access to the current selected item value of any column of your dTable you can get them doing this: 

DataRowView drv = (DataRowView)lstNames.SelectedItem;
String valueOfItem = drv["NameAndScore"].ToString();

What I like about getting the entire DataRowView is that if you have more columns you can still access their values and do whatever you need with them.
