Binding DataGrid to an Array

[Alan Gillott]

Is it possible to bind a Datagrid to a 2 dimentional Array? Or even a
Collection? I know Linq can in vb2008 but I don't want to download 2008 just
yet.
Lots of examples binding text boxes to Id arrays or DataGrids to Databases
but I can't quite get my head around what to do for datagrid to Array.

Re: Binding DataGrid to an Array

You can bind to a collection of simple values in which case you get a single
column of editable data.

You can bind to a collection of objects in which case the grid will try to
define columns based on the names of the properties in the objects and use
them for column names.

You cannot bind to a two dimentional array of, say, integers.
