DisplayMemberPath Property (AutoCompleteTextBox)

Gets or sets a path to a value within the source object in order to provide a visual representation of said object.

Syntax

Visual Basic
C#

'Declaration
 
Public Property DisplayMemberPath As String

'Usage
 
Dim instance As AutoCompleteTextBox
Dim value As String
 
instance.DisplayMemberPath = value
 
value = instance.DisplayMemberPath

public string DisplayMemberPath {get; set;}

Remarks

To understand how this works, imagine that the ItemsSource is a list of persons with various informations divided into different properties, like Names, Surname, Age, etc., all contained within a Persons object. The DisplayMemberPath property could be set to target the Name property held within the Person object so that the AutoCompleteTextBox suggests the names of the persons listed in the Persons object.

Note that if no value is specified for the DisplayMemberPath property, the object.ToString() method will be used instead.
