binding

Is it possible to bind a DataGridView to a LINQ to SQL class so that when I make changes to the records in the datagridview it automatically updates the SQL database? I have tried binding the data like this but if I make changes to the data in the datagrid view they do not actually affect the data in the database...

        BOMClassesDataContext DB = new BOMClassesDataContext();
        var mfrs = from m in DB.Manufacturers
                   select m;

        BindingSource bs = new BindingSource();
        bs.DataSource = mfrs;
        dataGridView1.DataSource = bs;

In other words LINQ to SQL isn’t smart about many to many mappings… >>> More
