I want to pass data from a datagridview into another form. I want to allow users to be able to edit the data on this second form. I have comboboxes on the edit form and I would like them to be bound to lookup datasets. I can pass the data to the edit form easily enough but only to display the current values in the comboboxes. When I try to connect the comboboxes to their respective datasets the original value does not display which makes sense. Does anyone know how I can display the current records value in the combobox and also have the combobox connected to another dataset?

This is reduced to a very popular question on form collaboration. I dedicated an article to answer them in a generic way: Many Questions Answered at Once — Collaboration between Windows Forms or WPF Windows[^].

It covers System.Windows.Forms and WPF, alternatives are also discussed (section 6).
