gridview and arraylist

[John Devlon]

Hi,

I would like to bind a gridview to an arraylist, which contains a
collection of custom objects.
I've created a gridview, which has a "Name" column and the text field
property set to "Name".

The code I used ....

Dim myList As New ArrayList()

Dim myPerson As clsPerson

myPerson = New clsPerson
myFile.Name = "John"

myList.Add(myFi le)

GridView1.DataS ource = myList
GridView1.DataB ind()

When running the code, an error is trown on the databind line... "there is
no field or property with the name "Name" in the selected source
"

Can anyone please help me ?

John

Hi,

I just noticed a small error in the example code...

Dim myList As New ArrayList()
>
Dim myPerson As clsPerson
>
myPerson = New clsPerson
myPerson.Name = "John"
>
myList.Add(myPe rson)
>
GridView1.DataS ource = myList
GridView1.DataB ind()

Does anyone have an idea ? It's not working...

Hi John,

Is the name property public?

It's also better to use a generic list, like: List<Person>

With kind regards,

This looks fine. Apparently there is a problem in other parts of the code.

Hi,

I've tried changing the list definition to

Dim mylist As New List(Of clsPerson)

.... but it doesn't seem to work..

The same error occures...

Does anyone have an idea?

Thanx
