Hi Lewis,

You didn't provide your project, so I can only guess at how you've designed the DataSource and DataControl(s).

But, I think I can answer your first and third questions with one answer. Your third question gives me a hint that you are doing the same thing 
I first did.

One thing that I missed at first is that the data control needs to be a child of the data source, and, conversely the data source must be the 
parent of the data control.

In other words, when you place the DataSource on the form, you then expand it so it can contain (ie. be the parent of) the data controls.
