Another way of doing it without making a trip back to the database is to use a calculated column in your datatable. Then bind to the calculated column.

For displaying the related column, set up a relation and use a calculated column that refers to the parent or child datatable. http://www.devx.com/vb2themax/Tip/18863

Or you can create your own control. See http://www.codeproject.com/vb/net/multicolumncombo.asp?target=multi%7Ccolumn%7Ccombobox
Obviously you would have to make the control implement some of the MM.NET binding interfaces to integrate it with the MM framework.
