This seems like something that would be relatively common, but I've
yet to find a situation similar to mine.

We have a list of equipment and a list of issues, and a table that
combines potential issues with the equipment id number. My winform
displays the issues in a listbox, and I'd like to use databinding to
automatically select the issue(s) that correspond to the equipment id
number.

Any ideas?

I seem to remember trying this before with no luck: Set the Listbox to
allow multiple selections, then bind the Selected Index to a group of
values.

I think I had to iterate through the list, and set the selected index(es) to
the values from the 'second table'.

Maybe someone knows how to do it with a binding statement.
