Excel to DataGridView error: "Array was not one-dimensional array"

Question

Hi,
I made a class that reads an Excel file and makes it into an array (Attached).
It is then supposed to convert the array to DataGridView object.
It seems to 'almost' work  - It reads the Excel and builds a nice array as can be seen in the debugger and in a temporary text box I added.
When it comes to making the array the DataGrid  DataSource, it looks like the grid is accessed and rows are added, but at the same time there is a big error message with the header:
"Array was not a one-dimensional array" followed by a list of errors, followed by the text: "To replace this default dialog please handle the DataError event."
I expected DataGridView to handle 2-dimentionals, am I wrong?
What am I doing wrong?
Sam
