Have given up trying to bind to the DefaultView.count property, I was
hoping just something simple like lblLabel.Databindings.Add("Text",
DataTable.DefaultView, "Count") would work but alas all is not that easy in
the .Net world.

All I was after was an easy way to show users how many rows were displayed
in a datagrid by reporting on the underlying defaultview. I have ended up
using the DefalutView.ListChanged event to update the count lable instead.

Cheers
