Attached is a new PopupBindings Sample.  Not sure what I was thinking.  
Take a look and see if this is what you wanted.

Also, I was thinking that shouldn't there be a way to add an attribute 
to the Getter and Setter that will bind directly for GetValueForKey and 
SetValueForKey?  That would make it really simple.  Was going to ask 
that before but got sidetracked.
