In fact saying that I can't (out of the box) get a DataGridViewTextCell
to work correctly either, it displays the class name...i.e. the default
ToString()....and there is no option to set which property to display.

Irratatingly I can't find any entity frameworks samples that I can
download...even when I follow the link on the MS web site, the sample
code does not exist where they claim it does.
