Problems with combobox

[krill]

Getting the folowing error when loading a pocket PC form...

Error:
"DataRowView to type String is not valid"

Code:
Dim xtrXML As New XmlTextReader(FsXML)
statesDS.ReadXml(xtrXML)
xtrXML.Close()
FsXML.Close()

' Get a DataTable to conveniently use for binding.
Dim dt As DataTable = statesDS.Tables("ListStop")
Try

'Bind the combobox
cboStops.DataSource = dt
cboStops.ValueMember = "StopID"
cboStops.DisplayMember = "StopDes"

where do you get the error (when) and are there any records in the datatable when you debug it.

At present I can't debug uisng the emulator...I can only run it in "start without debugging" ...I believe that I may need to re-install...the error occurs as soon as it hits

cboStops.ValueMember = "StopID"

I making an assumption that there is data...if I comment this line out the code works and I have descriptions showing in the drop down list. All I'm trying to do is get an underlining code to use else where in the app not the description.
