Yes.  It is not drag and drop.

If you right click on the grid a menu pops up allowing you to see the
fields.  One of the properties 
is the control type of each column.  Set that to a combo and a new section
is added to the 
properties of that column to allow you to select the data source, the field
to "bind" and the field 
to show.  It is only a single field so you would have to do like we often do
in Access and build a 
query to combine LName / FName into a single field etc.

All in all it is ... different but equivalent.
