Steve,

I remember trying to figure out how to do this about a year ago, and couldn't figure it out ... so I gave up and always bound to a DataTable. So, I still haven't done it, but I'm thinking that maybe all you need to do is have the property implement the IListSource interface ... I'm pretty sure that that is the Interface that provides this functionality (I was gonna try it out first before I answered you, but I'll let *you* try it out <g>).
