c1combo (latest version) can't use number for valuemember

if i use a number for the valuemember selectedvalue is always null.

if i have a datatable that looks like:

id description
---- ----------------
49 "this is item 1"
50 "this is item 2"

and i set valuemember to id then set SelectedValue = 49, SelectedValue returns null when queried.

if i have a datatable that looks like:

id description
---- ----------------
"49" "this is item 1"
"50" "this is item 2"

and to the same thing except set SelectedValue to "49" then everything works perfectly.

Patrick,

Any update on this?

Not being able to use an int fieldas a selected value item is a major bug. I would have expected a solution by now.

This seems to be the same issue as I posted at http://helpcentral.componentone.com/cs/forums/191928/ShowPost.aspx

I can't reproduce the problem.

I'm using the access database "NWind.mdb", the table is "Products". I set the ValueMember to "ProductID" and DisplayMember to "ProductName", after setting the SelectedValue to 5, then the display text is the product name with ProductID=5. When I get the SelectedValue, the result is 5.

If possible, could you please attach a simple sample that can reproduct it?

Thanks a lot in advance.
