Looks like that might fix this problem for a lot of people.

I was able to get it to work with ADO connections though (you have to go backwards through the subreports to the main report setting them though, it was very picky about that). I have that code posted here: http://www.blakepell.com/Blog/?p=15 I've just not upgraded my code to VS2010/Crystal 2010 for VS. If you have an example of an RDO connection being updatable and want to share it send it my way. :) I was never able to get the RDO working with 2008.

If you take a look at the <a href="http://scn.sap.com/docs/DOC-21990" title="Crystal Reports for Visual Studio 2010 Supported Platforms" rel="nofollow">supported platforms documentation</a>, under "Data Source Connectivity" there's a footnote: <em>When using ADO.NET with the Microsoft .NET Framework 4.0, the following setting must be added to the application’s configuration file:</em> <code> </code> At a minimum it seems to rely on the 2.0 CLR's implementation of activation.

Let me take a look into it and see if I can figure it out. As a last case scenario if we can't figure the binding out we can almost certainly loop through the recordset and manually add the items into the drop down (e.g., write the binding code ourselves).
