    Why can't ms make API's somewhat compatable

    <rant>

    In asp.net you define the datasource and do a databind to cause the contents
    of a control to change. In winforms (combobox as example) I just spent a
    while trying to figure out the equivalent.

    Refresh - Nope
    Datasource = new datasource - Nope

    but

    Datasource=Noth ing
    Datasource=new datasource - Yes

    Makes no sense and is about as easy to figure out as Vista is.
