This tutorial provides a simple code on how to bind a DataGrid to an array.

Start a new ASP .NET Web Application and on the Web Form drag a DataGrid:

Now go into the code of the ASP .NET Web Application (WebForm1.aspx.cs) and replace PageLoad() with this one:

private void Page_Load(object sender, System.EventArgs e)

{

   // The array

   string[] urls =

   {

   "http://www.geekpedia.com",

   "http://msdn.microsoft.com",

   "http://www.codeproject.com"

   };

// Set the DataSource to the array

DataGrid1.DataSource = urls;

// And bind

DataGrid1.DataBind();

}

You can now compile and watch the result:

How do you do this with a datagrid on a Windows form? When I do it I get the lenght of the string displayed in the datagrid, not the actual string text.

having trouble implementing with jagged arrays....

by Tammie on Tuesday, September 4th 2007 at 08:16 PM

Curious about jagged arrays also. How can you bind to an array of arrays or two-dimentional arrays? Whats does the aspx code look like? How do we access fields using templates?
