Hi,

I am tried to do the follwing but am keep getting erros.

This is what i tried:

I have a listbox containing the a few courses. By selecting a course i get the option to create a word document that contains the course name showed in the listbox.

string cursist = lstb_course.SelectedItem.ToString();
ThisApplication.Selection.TypeText(cursist);

only when i open the document is shows System.Data.DataRowView instead of the course name.

any idea's how this can happen.

When you add items to the list box, how do you do it?

Kep.

I use the following statement:

            string strconn = System.Configuration.ConfigurationSettings.AppSett ings["ConnectionString"].ToString();
            SqlConnection conn = new SqlConnection(strconn);
            string fillcmd = "SELECT Course.Name , Course.Type , Course.Points" + " " +
                "FROM StudyPoints INNER JOIN Course ON StudyPoints.Study_uno = Course.Study_uno" + " " +
                "WHERE StudyPoints.Trainee_uno = (select Trainee_uno from Trainees where dbo.Trainees.lastname = '" + txt_search.Text + "'" + " " +
                "or dbo.Trainees.Firstname = '" + txt_search.Text + "'" + " " +
                "or dbo.Trainees.Firstname + ' ' + dbo.Trainees.Lastname like '%" + txt_search.Text + "%')";
            SqlDataAdapter da = new SqlDataAdapter(fillcmd, conn);
            DataSet ds = new DataSet();
            da.Fill(ds, "Course");
            //binds the listbox with the study the trainee has followed
            lstb_course.DataSource = ds;
            lstb_course.DisplayMember = "Course.Name";
            lstb_course.ValueMember = "Course.Type";
            lstb_course.DataBindings.Add(new Binding("Text",ds,"Course.Name"));
            lstb_course.DataBindings.Clear();
