If I have a typed data set with columns ColumnA and ColumnB (both strings) in 
a table, I was thinking that I could do something like this


Partial Public Class TheTDS

....

  Partial Public Class TheDataTableRow

    Private ReadOnly Property ConcatenatedColumn() As String
        Get
            Return ColumnA & ", " & ColumnB
        End Get
    End Property

  End Class

End Class 


Then I want to bind that property to, say, a web list box control.  Of 
course this doesn't work, but I want to believe that it is possible.

Does anyone know where I might find out how to accomplish this?

Hi Dave,

Add extra column to the table (right click on the table in dataset designer 
view) and call it ConcatenatedColumn. In the expression field enter ColumnA + 
', ' + ColumnB. 
Should work.

Hope this helps
