C# convert object array into datatable

Question

Hello everyone,

I failed to find a sample about how to convert an array instances of user defined types into a (C# ADO.Net) datatable -- I want to use the datatable to bind to ASP.Net data bound controls (e.g. gridview). Could anyone provide a sample or recommend me to some simple samples?

Another question is, whether it is a must to convert to datatable in order to bound to controls in ASP.Net? Could I bound to any array of user defined types?

thanks in advance,
George

Hi

You can try like this

DataTable dt=new DataTable()

string df = "1,2,1,3";

int i;

DataColumn dc = new DataColumn();

dt.Columns.Add(dc);

for (i=0;i<df.Length;i++)

{

DataRow dr = dt.NewRow();

dr[dc] = df.Split (',')[i];

dt.Rows.Add(dr);

}
