MS Access Combo box Drop Down Equivilant

In MS Access you can show multiple columns of data in the dropdown section of a Combo Box. So when you select a row, you see only the Bound column data.

eg. Column Names:
ID, Title, Year, Rating, Supplier

This is handly when you have brief key data (like Title) in the bound column, but when you want to select another row, you get to see more details (such as the Year, Rating and Supplier) in the dropdown section.

Is there an equivilent of this in vb.net 2005

    No there isn't, at least not that I'm aware of.  I've seen various third-party controls that provide multicolumn ComboBoxes though.  The Code Project is always a good place to start looking for stuff like that.
