Can someone else who has had more caffeine than I please look at this example and tell me what I am doing wrong?

I have a custom business object called Customer and a Form1 with a BindingSource1, NumericUpDown1, TextBox1 and ComboBox1 and the attached code.

Setting break points in the Property Sets shows that the Set for the ComboBox never fires at all even though the Set for the NumericUpDown and TextBox fire like crazy.

I've obviously missed something and I know not what.

Thanks

You have to bind "SelectedItem"

..

        ComboBox1.DataSource = [Enum].GetValues(GetType(Customer.ChildGroup))
        ComboBox1.DropDownStyle = ComboBoxStyle.DropDownList
         
        BindingSource1.DataSource = Customer
        NumericUpDown1.Minimum = 0
        NumericUpDown1.Maximum = 10000
        NumericUpDown1.DataBindings.Add( _
            New Windows.Forms.Binding("Value", BindingSource1, "Id", False, DataSourceUpdateMode.OnPropertyChanged))
        TextBox1.DataBindings.Add( _
            New Windows.Forms.Binding("Text", BindingSource1, "Name", False, DataSourceUpdateMode.OnPropertyChanged))
        ComboBox1.DataBindings.Add( _
            New Windows.Forms.Binding("SelectedItem", BindingSource1, "Child", False, DataSourceUpdateMode.OnPropertyChanged))
