>(C#) I'm trying to bind a dropdown list to the data which populates the DDL, but the control on the form is not bound to any data on an underlying table (i.e., I simply want to populate the DDL). Using the Northwind database, I want a DDL of Employee last names. I tried
>Binding Source - Employee
>Binding Source Display Name - LastName
>Binding Source Value Member - EmployeeID
>Binding TYpe - One Way
>
>but get : Can't bind MmDropDownList1 to Employee.LastName
>
>When I try Binding TYpe - None
>the DDL is not populated.

Are you saying that you want to fill the list but not bind the selected value? If so, setting the values to what you listed above should work fine. Are you sure the Employee business object is instantiated and registered in the form's load? That would explain the error you're getting.

If you set the binding type to "None" that tells MM .NET not to bind the control at all...that's why the list doesn't get filled when you set it to None.
