With the newest LLBLGen generator, I generate some self servicing code.

I reference the generated code, adding the collections to my toolbox.

I drag a collection to the form, creating a databindable instance.

I select a combobox, select the DataSource property, see the collection listed as an option (listed twice, actually). I select it...... nothing happens. The DataSource property remains "(none)", instead of being the collection I selected.

Any idea why?

Also, if I set the comboboxe's datasource in code like so:

cbbidcompany.DataSource = Me.TblCustCollection1

The DataSource property remains equal to Nothing (null).

Hmm, very weird, I never saw this, but I always tested grids, not comboboxes. I'll try a combobox. Winforms I pressume?

I can't reproduce it. (I've tried selfservicing, if you use adapter please let me know, also if you use some custom extension template).

If I drag a CustomerCollection onto a form, and a combobox, I can set the datasource to the customercollection. The datamember can't be set to a collection, obviously, but I can set it to for example Orders.CustomerId.

Hmm....

The combo I'm using that doesn't work is actually an auto-complete combo that inherits from combobox. If I use a regular combobox, the databinding seems to work, just as you found.

Guess I'll have to find a new auto-complete combobox control.
