Hashtable & Combo Box

Hi,

I've created a hashtable which contains a list of countries with the key being the ISO country code and the value being the country name.

In ASP.NET I've attached it to a drop down list as so:

ddlCountries.DataSource = myHashtable
ddlCountries.DataTextField = "Value"
ddlCountries.DataValueField = "Key"

This works absolutely fine.

Now when I try to do a similar thing in a Windows Form using a combo box it throws an exception:

"System Exception: Complex DataBinding accepts as a data source either an IList or an IListSource"

I guess that its down to the type of collection, but is there anyway of binding a hashtable to a combo box?

Or, is there any easy way to convert the hashtable to something the combo box WILL accept?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Great when you figure it out :)

Dim enurtrCountries As IDictionaryEnumerator = myHashtable.GetEnumerator
Dim drCountry As DataRow
Dim dtCountries As New DataTable

dtCountries.Columns.Add("Key")
dtCountries.Columns.Add("Value")

Do While enurtrCountries.MoveNext
drCountry = dtCountries.NewRow
drCountry("Key") = enurtrCountries.Key
drCountry("Value") = enurtrCountries.Value
dtCountries.Rows.Add(drCountry)
Loop

ddlCountry.DataSource = dtCountries
ddlCountry.DisplayMember = "Value"
ddlCountry.ValueMember = "Key"
