Databinding ComboBox in Windows Form


Hey all,

I'm trying to create a Combobox that show the contents of a data table,
in a Windows Form. It's a Managed C++ project BTW.

I'm creating a DataTable (through an XML schema) with two elements

I've created a DataTable "members" with columns

ID UnsignedInt
name String

I've set the Combo properties (from the .NET 2003 Studio IDE)

DataSource to myDataSet.members
ValueMember to ID
DisplayValue to String


The DataTable is initially empty. I can add rows to the datatable just
fine. How do I make the Combobox display all the "name" values? I tried
Refresh() and Update(). If I remove the databinding I can populate the box
with Add(), but I'm not sure how to make this work with databinding.


Perhaps I'm misunderstanding how databinding is supposed to work? Also,
I'm a bit new with databases and Windows Forms, so if I misstated
something please forgive me.
