Create class like this class Item{ private string myText; public Item(string s){ myText = s; } public string Text{ get { return(myText); } } } And use it in your ArrayList it could work as you want :) example: ArrayList al = new ArrayList(); al.Add(new Item(first)); al.Add(new Item(second)); al.Add(new Item(third)); dataGrid2.DataSource = al;
