DataSource property on a User control grayed out

Arend Jan asked:

Open original thread
I have a user control with a datagridview to show an address list in a popup, that the user can choose from.
I followed a Microsoft MSDN example. However, when I drag the built usercontrol onto a form, the DataSource property in the property grid of the control remains grayed out. Thus I can't set a datasource property during desgin time.

What am I doing wrong?
This is my code:

VB
Imports PrismaModel
Imports System.ComponentModel

<System.ComponentModel.ComplexBindingProperties("DataSource", "DataMember")> _
Public Class AdressenControl

  Public Event AdresDoubleClicked(ByVal adres As Adres)

  Public Property DataSource() As Object
    Get
      Return Me.ZaDatagridView1.Datasource
    End Get
    Set(ByVal value As Object)
      Me.ZaDatagridView1.Datasource = Me.ZaDatagridView1.Datasource
    End Set
  End Property

  Public Property DataMember() As String
    Get
      Return Me.ZaDatagridView1.DataMember
    End Get
    Set(ByVal value As String)
      Me.ZaDatagridView1.DataMember = value
    End Set
  End Property

  Private Sub ZaDatagridView1_CellDoubleClick(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.DataGridViewCellEventArgs) Handles ZaDatagridView1.CellDoubleClick

    If e.RowIndex > -1 Then
      Dim adres As Adres
      Dim list As List(Of Adres) = ZaDatagridView1.Datasource
      adres = list(e.RowIndex)
      RaiseEvent AdresDoubleClicked(adres)
    End If
  End Sub

End Class

  3. If a question is poorly phrased then either ask for clarification, ignore it, or edit the question and fix the problem. Insults are not welcome.
  4. Don't tell someone to read the manual. Chances are they have and don't get it. Provide an answer or move on to the next question.
