Binding An Enum DataGridViewComboBoxColumn To A Datarow

Public Class Form5
Public Enum myStatus
Pending = 0

[Code]....

The above code assumes that you have a Form named Form5 with a DataGridView called DataGridView1. If you run the form and change a value in the new column then try to exit that column, you get an exception. Ultimately I was wanting to bind from a datatable from an SQL 2000 Server which is why I used an Integer column type for the datarow. It would seem that the Enum would evaluate to an integer. If you show the valuetype in the validated event which will fire if you remove the

col.DataPropertyName = "Status"

line, It return a numeric value.
