Now I am stuck at a point where I want to bind combobox with datasource.The coding I tried is:::::::::::::
BusLayer.Surgeon objsurgeon = new BusLayer.Surgeon();
BusLayer.SurgeonCollection surgeonCollection;
surgeonCollection = objsurgeon.GetSurgeonCollection();
cmbChiefSurgeon.DataSource = surgeonCollection.Collection(); cmbChiefSurgeon.ValueMember = "doctorName";
cmbAssistantSurgeon1.DisplayMember = "doctorName";
But in the bolded line it is showing error that we have to use IListSource..I know that it is an interface but don't know anything much about this...Please sort out this problem.........

Well, if it wants you to use an IList object, i guess you have to either change your surgeon collection to be a list, or you have to create a new list, fill it with the items from the collection and use the list as the datasource, i suppose the second approach would require the least amount of work.
Ah, i found another approach, you declare a list and make it equal to your collection with the following code:
- collection.ToList<Type>()
again you would have to cast back before going to the DB.
