How to convert StringCollection to BindingList

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.

Will this work for you ?

        StringCollection sc = new StringCollection();

        BindingList<String> bl = new BindingList<String>((from String str in sc select str).ToList());
