Hi,
I've got a listbox linked to a DataSet in this way:
// connetto la lista di clienti ai dati
this.lbClienti.DataSource = GestoreClientiDistributori.caricaElencoClienti().T ables[0];
// imposto DENIMINAZIONEBREVE come valore visualizzato
this.lbClienti.DataTextField = "DENOMINAZIONEBREVE";
// imposto CODICE come valore nascosto
this.lbClienti.DataValueField = "CODICE";
// eseguo il binding dei dati
this.lbClienti.DataBind();
the first instrution assign the datasource as a dataset.

Now when I select a value from the listbox I would like to connect someother controls (textbox) to the other information associated with that list element.

Is it possible?
Thanks!

I couldnt get u!! do u wanna make a DataBind?!?!?
Can u give me more info (by example)?!

Always:),

I've got a drop down with a DataSource and DataTextField and DataValueField values.
DataSet ds = GestoreAnagraficheClienti.caricaElencoCantieri(thi s.ddlClienti.SelectedValue);
// imposto la sorgente di dati
this.ddlCantieri.DataSource = ds;
// la descrizione del cantiere come valore visualizzato
this.ddlCantieri.DataTextField = "cantiere_long";
// il codice come valore nascosto
this.ddlCantieri.DataValueField = "id_cantiere";

I wish to select one value from the list, and then someway to show its (i'm talking about the data in the dataTable) values in textboxes.

An example I've got a list with
cod1
cod2
cod3
but I've made an SQL with
code, name, price, ecc...
So I got them in the DataSet.
When I select cod1 from the drop down list I would fill some textbox with the other values...

I hope of to have been clearer ;)

When you select an item in the listbox, and the postback occurs, use the listBox.SelectedIndexChanged event to do what you need. In this handler, you can run another SQL query to retrieve the data you want and write it to the text box. You could do this manually (call SQL, get value, write to textBox.Text), or with another databind.

I don't want to do it manually because there are a lot of columns to show.
Whan you are talking about doing another databind, what do you mean in this context?
Thanks :-)

It would seem to me that the easiest way to do what you would like is to make a SQL call to retrieve all the data you want for the specified data element in the listbox. Once you have the data (one row selected based on some key that you use as the listboxitem's "value" value) you can then set all the textboxes "Text" property to the value from the data. The manual way is really the most straightforward the way I see it.
