Hello Darshit, Your are doing right but just missed to add your combobox column to add, houseNameDataGridViewComboBoxColumn.DataSource = dtGetHouse; houseNameDataGridViewComboBoxColumn.ValueMember = "HouseID"; houseNameDataGridViewComboBoxColumn.DisplayMember = "HouseName"; houseNameDataGridViewComboBoxColumn.DataPropertyName = "HouseID" houseNameDataGridView.Columns.Add(houseNameDataGridViewComboBoxColumn); // houseNameDataGridView this one is your datagridview name

Hello Darshit, If you are displaying the students' houses in a DataGridViewComboBoxColumn and it is displaying the ID instead of the name when you select a value, it means that the ValueMember property is set to the column in the data source that contains the ID, instead of the column that contains the name. try like below: // Assuming you have a DataGridView called dataGridView1 and a data source called dataSource // that contains the list of students and their houses. // Create a new DataGridViewComboBoxColumn DataGridViewComboBoxColumn column = new DataGridViewComboBoxColumn(); // Set the name of the column column.Name = "House"; // Set the data source for the column column.DataSource = dataSource; // Set the display member to the column that contains the house name column.DisplayMember = "HouseName"; // Set the value member to the column that contains the house ID column.ValueMember = "HouseID"; // Add the column to the DataGridView dataGridView1.Columns.Add(column); Thanks Naimish Makwana
