Trouble with combobox in DataGrid

[Fiaolle]

Hi
The first set of source code is the class for a combobox in a grid,
hopefully. In the second set of code we try to use the combobox class, but
the grid is empty.
I don't understand how this works. The first set of code I downloaded from
internet and when i tried it, it worked fine. But when I changed the second
part of the code it started to give me trouble. Before I changed the code
they used Datacolumns,Datarows and Datatables and added them to the Dataset
which they used to the Datagrid and it worked fine. I don't understand what
is wrong know that I'm using a table I haven't "made" myself but a table I
got from a connection. As the third set of code showing, when using
comboboxes you can set the Datasource to a table you have connected to with
a connection and it works fine, so I think the second part of code should
work, but the grid is empty when the program starts.

If there is anyone who understand my problem and have a solution, please
give me an answer.

Thanks

Fia
