comboBox1.DataS ource = Enum.GetNames(t ypeof(MyEnum));

you can bind arraylists to a combox box, but can't use the ValueMemeber or
other related properties that you can when you bind a datatable

It may be better to use .GetValues; the text should appear the same, but it
means that SelectedItem should return the enum rather than a string.

I have a web service method that returns an array of custom objects marked serializeable with fully described public properties. When I bind the results to a DataGrid I can access the properties in the ItemDataBound event of the codebehind but I can't access them declaratively in the HTML code? Here is the code to call the method. net.mysite.www.WSInterface proxy; proxy = new net.mysite.www.WSInterface();
