Follow up question:
I created a two-field expression by selecting from the VFP table as following:
select padr(alltrim(ID_FIELD),10,' ' + DESC_FIELD as MYNEWFLD
But the drop-down-list ignores spaces used to pad the ID_FIELD.
Instead the DLL only shows one space, therefore, the alignment of
the two column does not work.
What character can I use in place of the space (in the PADR()
above) to make it work? Is there a CHR(n) that does not show but
still would be recognized by ASP.NET?
