Problem with FormView

[Lloyd Sheen]

Ok I have a new page which I want to use a FormView. I create an object
which exposes a method returning a list(of Server). Now in the designer I
can drop the FormView on the page, create the ObjectDataSourc e from the
method and I see all the properties.

Ok now my code (object)

Imports Microsoft.Visua lBasic
Imports Microsoft.SqlSe rver.Management .Smo
Imports Microsoft.SqlSe rver.Management .Common
imports System.Collecti ons.Generic

Public Class SQLServer
private fgss as new list(of Server)

public sub new()

End Sub

public sub new(fgs as server)

fgss.Add(fgs)
End Sub

public function GetSever() as list(of server)
return fgss
End Function

End Class

and in the page load of the page:

Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As
System.EventArg s) Handles Me.Load
If Me.Session.Item (STR_LoginInfo) IsNot Nothing Then
linfo = Me.Session.Item (STR_LoginInfo)
xServer = linfo.SQLServer
If xServer Is Nothing Then
Exit Sub
End If
else
linfo = New LoginInfo
linfo.ServerNam e = STR_QLExpress
linfo.UseIntegr atedSecurity = True
xServer = linfo.SQLServer
Session.Add(STR _LoginInfo, linfo)
End If

dim ss as New SQLServer (xserver)

me.FormView1.Da taSourceID=noth ing
me.FormView1.Da taSource=ss
me.FormView1.Da taBind()

End Sub


The line me.FormView1.Da taSource=ss tells me that the source "Data source is
an invalid type. It must be either an IListSource, IEnumerable, or
IDataSource." Now all was good in the designer so why the problem???
