hi,

I have an object populated from the database, The object has three properties,
the ID, a description, and a State

If I bind the object as a collection to a combo

comboBox.DataSourse = <objectcollection>
comboBox.DisplayMember = "description"
comboBox.ValueMember = "ID"

Regardless when I bind the objectcollection to the DataSourse property I get
the same results.

When I get the SelectedValue of the comboBox it returns the selectedIndex
value and not the expected 'ID".

Has anyone else seen this behaviour and know of a workaround

Thanks

Gary
