In my example I have an EditorView for Product entity with ComboBox control binded to Product.SupplierId property. Also I have DataTable contained data on suppliers having "Id" and "Name" fields.
I`d like to screw this suppliers table up to ComboBox dropdown list so "Id" and "Name" field values be treated as ValueMember and DisplayMember (surely I use ControlBindingManager for binding).
Suppliers table have no corresponding Supplier entity type in my module because this table is coming as additional dictionary from 3rd party source..

Is it possible to use DataTable as source of values for ComboBox control? How should I setup ListConverter for corresponding BindingDescriptor?

Look at the Advanced Tutorial on "Binding to Non-Persistable Objects".  The real problem is not than we can't bind to non-persistable objects.  That is easy enough to do.  The real problem is that we can't save the changes.
