New to Infragistics, migrating projects from a competitive product.
I have an UltraWinGrid containing a list of accounts. The grid and underlying datasource contain a column which stores the ID of the account representative. The ID references the table of account reps.
I've created an UltraDropdown bound to a view of the account reps table, with the DisplayMember being the name of the rep and the ValueMember being the associated ID.
I want the grid to display the name but contain and save the ID.
How is this accomplished with the Infragistics components?
Never mind ...
Because of a different problem with the grid and dropdown (issue reported) I had removed and recreated the dropdown several times.
The dropdown didn't have the ValueMember and DisplayMember properties set the last time the dropdown was recreated.
Working now.
Addendum ... the underlying data type of the ID column is System.Int32 as you would expect with the grid being data bound. It can't be changed. Is my problem that I can't display 'Smith, John' in a System.Int32 column?
Is the dropdown being displayed or the underlying grid?
