Binding data to an Enum stored in an object in Winforms ComboBox?

Question

Does anyone know how to do this?

I tried this one , but it just fills this ComboBox, which I already do.

I need a way to update combobox whenever the enum property on my object changes:

DataObject.DataEnum

but also update the above Enum whenever I change the selected item in the combo box.

Can this be done?

I usually use binding in this way:

this.TextBox.DataBindings.Add ( "Text", this.DataObject, "Name", false, DataSourceUpdateMode.OnPropertyChanged );

which works great.

public partial class Form1 : Form {

    private Person p = new Person( );

    public Form1( ) {

        InitializeComponent( );

        comboBox1.DataSource = Enum.GetValues( typeof( Gender ) );

        textBox1.DataBindings.Add( "Text", p, "Name", false, DataSourceUpdateMode.OnPropertyChanged );
        comboBox1.DataBindings.Add( "SelectedItem", p, "Gender", false, DataSourceUpdateMode.OnPropertyChanged );

        label1.DataBindings.Add( "Text", p, "Name", false, DataSourceUpdateMode.Never );
        label2.DataBindings.Add( "Text", p, "Gender", false, DataSourceUpdateMode.Never );

    }
    private void Form1_Load( object sender, EventArgs e ) {
        // yeah, that right i voted for him,
        // go ahead and downvote me
        p.Name = "John McCain";
        p.Gender = Gender.Male;
    }
    private void Form1_Click( object sender, EventArgs e ) {
        p.Name = "Sarah Palin";
        p.Gender = Gender.Female;
    }
}

public enum Gender {
    Male,
    Female
}

public class Person : INotifyPropertyChanged {

    private string name;
    private Gender gender;

    public string Name
    {
        get { return name; }
        set {
            name = value;
            PropertyChanged( this, new PropertyChangedEventArgs( "Name" ) );
        }
    }

    public Gender Gender {
        get { return gender; }
        set {
            gender = value;
            PropertyChanged( this, new PropertyChangedEventArgs( "Gender" ) );
        }
    }

    public event PropertyChangedEventHandler PropertyChanged = delegate {};

}
