I have a DataGridView that is being filled with data from a table. Inside this table is a column called 'group' that has the ID of an individual group in another table.
What I would like to do, is when the DataGridView is filled, instead of showing the ID contained in 'group', I'd like it to display the name of the group. Is there some type of VB.net 'magic' that can do this, or do I need to cross-reference the data myself?
Here is a breakdown of what the 2 tables look like:
table1
  id
  group (this holds the value of column id in table 2)
  weight
  last_update  
table2
  id
  description (this is what I would like to be displayed in the DGV.)  
BTW - I am using Visual Studio Express.
