LookUpEdit - Add a GetSelectedDataRow method to access the underlying selected data source row

It would make the life of developers trying to use the LookUpEdit controls much easier if there were a SIMPLE way of accessing the underlying datasource object. I have tried several of the "GetDataSource...." from Properties in the LookUpEdit. These methods are not always correct. There have been numerous posts by other users who have come up against the same problem of "I have the EditValue, now give me the underlying object". All have been met with something like... Use this method or that Method.

Instead of make the developers jump through a bunch of hoops, can you not provide a simple property of type object that returns the object from the underlying datasource based on the current EditValue?
