binding the ComboBox in a couple very common scenarios:
1. To display information from a lookup table and send the selected value into another table's field.
2. To display a list of parent table's records and use that as a
filter to display related child records. For instance, as the user
selects a record in the ComboBox, you want to display all the related
child records in a grid.
