After pulling our hair out for weeks, we finally confirmed there is a bug with DataBinding to comboboxes when use DropDownList:

In case you are not aware, I will refer you to Craig's blog:

Can someone pleases tell me how one can have a Build error on a line that does not exist?

Check out this screen shot:

So, about 25% of our Builds now require us to Delete our obj and bin folders to get a clean build.  We can change the name of a control, do a Build and it fails with 10+ errors that make no sense.  Stuff like 'variable not declared' when in fact it is.  So, we delete the bin and obj, do another Build and we will get 0 errors but the MessageBox, "there were build errors" pops up.  We do another build and all works.  We code away, do 2-3 more builds, all is well, then, it happens again; the same 10+ variable not declared build error. 

I finished reading 'Building Applications and Components with Visual basic .NET' last night.  All I can say is Ted has done it again.  His COM+ book was great....this one is even better.  This guy writes as if he is sitting in front of you, beer in his hand, just chatting away.  I guess you could say he writes the way I learn. 

So I finally got around to strong naming all of our assemblies with a company .snk file.  All worked perfect when running the app from the IDE (as an exe).  However, when running the app from the download cache (NTD which uses one remoted type hosted by IIS) I am getting very vague security 'restriction' exceptions. Digging into this but not coming up with a lot.

Microsoft has posted our case study:
