    Hi. I've been reading up about preparing objects for binding to Windows Forms
    controls. However, I have not seen anything about how to get a control to
    show an object with it's non value-type properties expanded.

    For example consider the following. I want to bind a collection of
    OuterObjects to a DataGrid, but the properties of the InnerObject property
    are not expanded. All I get is the class name displayed as a column, wheras I
    want to see InnerObject's "Name" property as a column. How do I do this
    without creating a wrapper?

    public class OuterObject
    {
        ...
        public InnerObject InnerObject
        {
            get{return innerObject;}
        }
    }
    public class InnerObject
    {
        ...
        public string Name
        {
            get{return name;}
            set{name = value;}
        }
        ...
    }

    Thanks

    kh
