The lookup editor displays values from the associated data source field specified by the RepositoryItemLookUpEditBase.DisplayMember property. The GetDataSourceRowByDisplayValue method searches for the specified value within this field and returns an object representing the first found record.
The GetDataSourceRowByDisplayValue method’s return value depends upon the type of the underlying data source. If the data source is a System.Data.DataTable or a System.Data.DataView, this method returns a System.Data.DataRowView object. If the data source is a custom list of items, the appropriate list item is returned.
