Good stuff. I saw an online demo of the VS 2010's drop-and-drag data sourcing with Beth Massi (Microsoft's VB team I think she is) on dnrtv.com recently, similar to what you've demonstrated here. Excellent feature. It is amazing what you folks at Microsoft keep adding to these products--and how quickly these products are evolving.
