How to set combobox displaymember to a returned value of a function?

How to set combobox displaymember to a returned value of a function?

In Access/VBA I would have a little function to build the string, then simply code the recordsource of the cbo as: CODE "SELECT ClientIDS, fnGetName([ClientIDS]) AS ClientName FROM tblPerson ORDER BY fnGetName([ClientIDS])". Pretty straightforward, but I've messed around with this for hours in VS2005/VB to no avail.
