Databind DataGridView to List(of String)

[=?Utf-8?B?aGVyYmVydA==?=]

I use the following code to programmaticall y bind a DataGridView and a
BindingNavigato r to various List(of myClass). This works fine with each
'myClass' offering public properties.

Dim mAllUsers As List(Of myClass)
mAllUsers = GetAllUsers() 'returns List(Of myClass)
Dim AllUsersBinding Source As New BindingSource(M e.components)
ControlStationI nfoBindingNavig ator.BindingSou rce = AllUsersBinding Source
ControlStationI nfoDataGridView .AutoGenerateCo lumns = True
ControlStationI nfoDataGridView .DataSource = AllUsersBinding Source
AllUsersBinding Source.DataSour ce = mAllUsers

If I change the code to
Dim mAllUsers As List(Of String)
mAllUsers = GetAllUsers() 'returns List(Of String)
then the DataGridView only displays one column containing the length of each
string.

I want only to display the strings in one column.

thank you very much, herbert

Re: Databind DataGridView to List(of String)

You could try using a BindingList(of whatever) instead of a List. It has all
the inherent properties needed to bind a list to a binding list and thus to
a control.
