Bonnie,
>You would probably want to check whether it's null or not, rather than for a specific type of data. More like this:
Actually, you do need to check the type, because the value is set to the type System.Data.DataRowView when the DisplayMember and ValueMember properties are set. In this case he only wants to process the value when it is a String.
