ToolStripComboBox binding problems

TheMSsForum.com: The Microsoft Software Forum

The following code only "binds" when the toolStripComboBox1 is at the top of
the toolStrip1 hierarchy (i.e., ToolStrip > ToolStripSplitButton >
ToolStripComboBox). Why will the control NOT bind when it moved (recreated)
as a child control of a toolStrip control (i.e., ToolStrip >
ToolStripSplitButton > ToolStripComboBox)? I have also tried casting
toolStripComboBox1.Control as a standard ComboBox and binding it that way.
That method produces the same effect. I can use the exact same binding
settings on a regular ComboBox with no problems either. The problem truly
seems associated with the fact that the control being bound seems to be
nested.

//(bsCustomers is a BindingSource object and dvCustomers is a DataView
object)

bsCustomers.DataSource = dvCustomers;
toolStripComboBox1.ComboBox.DisplayMember = consts.Columns.colCustomersName;
//"Name"
toolStripComboBox1.ComboBox.ValueMember = consts.Columns.colCustomersID;
//"ID"
toolStripComboBox1.ComboBox.DataSource = bsCustomers;

Oops. Sorry. The first example should be:

(i.e., ToolStrip > ToolStripComboBox)

Thanks,
