Databinding Combobox

I am binding a custom collection to a combobox, which gives me no
errors, but displays

PintClub.Member

for each entry. How can I set the displaymember and valuemember fields
correctly. Do I need to inherit anything in my collection for this.
The collection "MemberCollection" contains "Member" objects with public
properties available. The collection inherits CollectionBase.
 
cbrown,

When you say that the Member objects have public properties, do you mean
public properties with Get/Set methods, or do you mean public variables
(fields)?

Databinding requires properties with Get/Set methods.

I should have stated they have get/set.

Also, I found my answer, which of course was obvious, but still alluded
me.

I set the following:

cboMemberList.DataSource = Members
cboMemberList.DisplayMember = "SelectionName"
cboMemberList.ValueMember = "MemberID"

Hope this helps someone else.
