I've dropped the WBBS on the ASPX, wired it up to the business object and then made the WBBS the datasource for both a standard MS GridView and the ASPxGridView ... all of the columns are marked as ReadOnly = false but none of the columns are editable.

Solved it ... at least I think I did.  The WBBS and the ASPxGrid control simply worked differently than I thought.  After placing the grid in Edit mode, making a change, then pressing the grid's save button the grid successfully commits the change but to the business object data fields not the database itself.  Therefore, in order to get the data from the BO to the database, in the grid's DataUpdated method I  simply had to call the BO's Save() method.  If anyone has a better way I'd like to hear it.
