Populating a datagrid with an ArrayList

shazadali

Does anyone have any code snippets on how to populate a Datagrid from either an Array or ArrayList of objects that I have created, and also change the column header text and width to what you want. All the examples I've seen so far concentrate on Databinding to a Dataset. I just need a simple way of adding my ArrayList of objects in a grid an viewing some of the properties of my objects within that ArrayList. Would I need to convert it into XML to make this easier, and if so how? Cheers.

I think the basic code in the Visual Studio .NET Combined Collection gives a pretty good example of how to do that. Simply go under Index... DataGrid... about DataGrid and look at that example. More than likely, though, you'll want to just use a DataTable. You might not need the whole DataGrid. Look up DataTable while you're at it.
