combobox DataSource DisplayMember problem

hi,

i have a simple table that i access in code, and connect it to a combobox
with setting the DataSource, and DisplayMember properties with the following
code,

cmbNames.DataSource = mDs.Tables("tblNames")

cmbNames.DisplayMember = "Names"

the data get loaded into the combobox, i see it by opening the combo, and
can pop it into the text portion by clicking on any item..

however if i use 'cmbNames.Items(x) to retrieve the data at a certain
location it returns "System.Data.DataRowView", instead of the name stored
there. why is this? and what can i do to get the data from location x in the
Items collection?

thanks

ray
