I'm trying to figure out how to populate a combo box but I need to be able to set a DatasourceKey in the autopopulate settings and cannot.  When I try to manually populate the control I get data but as soon as you select an item the entire form locks and you cannot set focus to any other controls.  I'm completely lost as to why the combobox locks the form.

I'm frustrated that I cannot set the DatasourceKey for the population business object, and that I cannot find any examples for manually populating a business object.  All the documentation says to 'search for combobox population', and a vague reference to needing a datatable but no specifics for required fields.  Which seems odd since you populate a combobox with objects not datatables, or is there some interface the combobox items needs to support?

Ok, I think I get what you are saying, and I think I see a possible setup configuration that I am missing.

Thus far I have set the datasource key in code after creating a business object or from the property box when adding an instance of a business object to a form, before I call any fill methods. 

For example:

Instead, I should alter the Business Object class and set the DatasourceKey so all instances of BusinessObjectA will use the datasource key and not have to intialize that property.  Am I getting this right??
