displaying arrays in the datagrid.

alex_lanin

lets say I have int []row1 = { 1, 2, 3, 4}; int []row2 = { 5, 6, 7, 8}; ArrayList data = new ArrayList(); data.Add( row1); data.Add( row2); now I want to display this data in the datagrid. any suggestions how I can do this? obviously, numbers or rows and number of columns (elements in the array) can be changed on the fly, but all rows (arrays) will have the same number of elements. Thank you.

A DataGrid is always bound to a DataSource. You might find that a ListView or ListBox is better for the functionality you are trying to acheive. If you would like to use the DataGrid, you need to create a class that implements the IListSource interface, and then set an instance of this class as the datasource for your datagrid...

thank you for reply. as far as i understand there is no way of doing this in the .net datagrid, isn't it? (i cannot use dataset, because i have arraylist as an internal storage and all i want to do is to reflect content and changes of this arraylist in the grid)

You would have to either extend the datagrid object to include the functionality you want....(overload the add method to include an integer array)....or you could create a function that would iterate through the ArrayList, and add each element to a record, then add the record to the dataset.
