I have found that if the value of a bound control is changed 
programmatically then the underlying datatable-column that the control is 
bound to does NOT get updated.
It only gets updated if the control's bound property is changed by using 
the control itself.

Is there a way around this, is this a known issue.

Have you called EndCurrentEdit()? Generally speaking, it's probably
better to update the DataSource and let the binding reflect the change
to the control, but I guess it should work the other way around, but you
may need to inform the CurrencyManager that a change has occuured.

Thanks brian,
I have used EndCurrentEdit in certain other places in my code and it 
definitely solves a few update issues :) but this case is slightly odd 
because it seems as if the current record is never actually being edited. 
When I use the CurrencyManager it updates/keeps the record with the same 
original value because it hasn't been modified in any way - the bound 
control never seems to tell the underlying datatable that anything has 
happened. 
When the user checks/unchecks a checkbox I need to set a bunch of controls 
to different values - and I would rather set the controls than edit each 
of their specific columns in the datatable.
