A declaration of an object reference using WithEvents is preventing my MM.NET business objects from successfully loading data. Code is as follows:

Public Class VisitorVisitsForm
    Inherits mmBusinessForm

    Dim WithEvents CSForm As New CompanySelectionForm
...

When I comment out this line the application works as expected.
I need to declare this reference outside of any code blocks (Subs, Events or Methods).
Why is this preventing the data from being retrieved via my Busniess Objects and bound to my WinForm?
