ListBox Control: DataSource, DisplayMember, ValueMember properties

[JMe9ka]

I have a ListBox to which I am assigning a DataTable as a DataSource, as
shown below.

================================================== =====
DataTable VendorData = new DataTable();

// Code here retrieves Data and populates
// the VendorData DataTable.
listBox_Vendor.DataSource = VendorData;
listBox_Vendor.ValueMember = "ID";
listBox_Vendor.DisplayMember = "Name";
================================================== =====

This code works fine when there is only one entry in the DataSource.
When the number of entries is greater than one, however, it throws the
System.ArgumentException below:

================================================== =====
System.ArgumentException: Cannot modify the Items collection when the
DataSource property is set.

at System.Windows.Forms.ListBox.CheckNoDataSource()
at System.Windows.Forms.ListBox.Sort()
at System.Windows.Forms.ListBox.EndUpdate()
at System.Windows.Forms.ListBox.SetItemsCore(IList value)
at System.Windows.Forms.ListControl.DataManager_ItemC hanged(Object
sender, ItemChangedEventArgs e)
at System.Windows.Forms.ListControl.SetDataConnection (Object
newDataSource, BindingMemberInfo newDisplayMember, Boolean force)
at System.Windows.Forms.ListControl.set_ValueMember(S tring value)
================================================== =====

I don't quite understand what's going on here. There is no editing done
to the items of the ListBox anywhere.

Any assistance is immensely appreciated.
