I think I'm beginning to get it.

I have this:

//I need objects of class Address, so I make a ListStore
// with two "columns": one containing the text, one containg the object
ListStore ls = new ListStore(typeof(string), typeof(Address));

//I need to fetch the objects from the ArrayList currentUnit.Addresses
foreach(Address a in currentUnit.Addresses)
{	
	ls.AppendValues(a.ToString(), a);
}

The problem now is that the combo does not display anything. I think 
what I need now a way to "tell" the combo that the values to display are 
in the first "column".
