How to convert StringCollection to BindingList

Question

Is it possible to convert a StringCollection variable to a BindingList , and then back? I am trying to bind a StringCollection to a DataGridView , and I am struggling to make it work.

I want to do the same thing with a StringDictionary .

Do I need to create some sort of wrapper classes to accomplish this...as described in this question .

Thanks for any advice you can give.
