bind a DropDownList to a NameObjectCollectionBase

Is it possible to bind a DDL to the objects contained in a NOCB? If I don't
specify the
DataValueField or DataTextField then the key field is displayed
automatically in the DDL. If I try to specify the fields in the class
*held* by the NOCB, I get an error:

DataBinder.Eval: 'System.String' does not contain a property with the name
Name

Is the a way around this?

Thanks,

Craig Buchanan.
