I know that you can bind to any property in a listbox's DataSource in a windows form by using syntax of the format:
ListBox1.DataBindings.Add(New Binding("BackColor", MyDataSet, "Customers.Background"))
where ListBox1 is a listbox, BackColor is the custom property you want to set by binding, and Customers.Background identifies the column in the dataset MyDataSet that you want to use to dictate the BackColor property.
I've heard that you can also produce an effect similar to that described/demonstrated above the above on a listbox on a webform, though a listbox as it appears on a webform doesn't have a DataBindings property, so the syntax for achieving it must be different if so. Could any of you tell me if I'm mistaken about being able to bind any property of a listbox Web Control to a column from a dataset, and if it is possible what the syntax for achieving that should be, please? Specifically, I'd like the .Font.Bold property of each row in my listbox to be dictated by a field I'm pulling from an Oracle database into a dataset that the listbox uses as its DataSource. The best I've been able to achieve at the moment is binding the .Font.Bold property to a single value from the dataset (e.g. the first record), which makes each row appear bold or not depending on the value that happens to be the case for the 'record' I pick to associate with .Font.Bold.
Hope one of you clever lot can help!
Thanks,
Rach.
