title: is there a way to use linq2sql context as datasource
body: <p>I am trying to databind a database table with two columns to a combobox, can this be done with linq2sql/dbml?  Seems like it should be possible, but I can't find an object property to assign as the DataMember, even trying the reflection tricks mentioned in other posts.</p>
  
  <pre><code>var itemslist = from items in dbcontext.itemslisttable select items;
  comboBox1.DataSource = itemslist;
  comboBox1.DisplayMember = ???
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>something like</p>
  
  <pre><code>comboBox1.DisplayMember = itemslist.ItemDescriptionColumn.Name;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>or</p>
  
  <pre><code>comboBox1.DisplayMember = itemslist.First().ItemDescriptionColumn.Name;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>am I way off here, should I just use a string literal and be done with it?</p>
