Welcome to Programming Tutorial official website. Today - we are going to cover how to solve / find the solution of this error How to bind a List to a gridview? on this date .

I can’t find an answer anywhere… I have a List<string[]> populated like this:

...
while (myReader.Read())
{
    string[] row = new string[myInt];

    for (int i = 0; i < myInt; i++)
    {
        row[i] = myReader[i].ToString();
    }

    myList.Add(row);    
}
...

How do I bind this list to a gridview with TemplateField columns?

Answer

An easier way is to create an anonymous class and bind that to your GridView. Example:

var query = from c in row
            select new { SomeProperty = c };

GridView.DataSource=query;
GridView.DataBind();
