The code i currently have below populates a list box with the Id, description and company

            DataTable dTable = new DataTable();
            dataAdapter.Fill(dTable);

            DataColumn dcDisplayMember = new DataColumn("DisplayMember");
            dcDisplayMember.Expression = string.Format("{0}+'\t\t'+{1}+'\t\t'+{2}", "dId", "Description", "Company");


            dTable.Columns.Add(dcDisplayMember);


            BindingSource bSource = new BindingSource();
            bSource.DataSource = dTable;
            listBox.DataSource = bSource;
            listBox.DisplayMember = "DisplayMember";

However what i am trying to achieve is getting the list box to display a shorter version of the description column e.g. description of something...

I know i have to do something to

string.Format("{0}+'\t\t'+{1}+'\t\t'+{2}", "dId", "Description", "Company")

But i am not sure as to what
