Why can't ms make API's somewhat compatable

<rant>

In asp.net you define the datasource and do a databind to cause the contents
of a control to change. In winforms (combobox as example) I just spent a
while trying to figure out the equivalent.

Refresh - Nope
Datasource = new datasource - Nope

but

Datasource=Nothing
Datasource=new datasource - Yes

Makes no sense and is about as easy to figure out as Vista is.

</rant>
