Bind to array

[Yousef]

string[] myArray = new string[5] {"One", "Two", "Three", "Four", "Five" };
radGridView1.DataSource = myArray; 

when doing this, why the displayed column is the length of every string?
how to display the strings themself using DataSource?
Thanks

Try the code bellow:

private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
            BindingList<CustomObject> l = new BindingList<CustomObject>();
            l.Add(new CustomObject("one"));
            l.Add(new CustomObject("two"));

            radGridView1.DataSource = l;
}

...

class CustomObject {
        string a;
        public CustomObject(String a){
                this.a =a;
            }

        public string A
        {


            get { return a; }
            set { a = value; }
        }

}

Cheers

Thanks for the reply,
this works i tried it before, but in the documentation they used the code i provided before and the display was the strings not the length.

Hi Yousef,

Thank you for your question.

This behavior was changed in the current version, but the documentation still reflects the old usage. Sorry for the introduced inconvenience.

Review the following code if you need simple array binding:  

public class ValueType<T>
{
T item;

public ValueType()
{

}

public ValueType(T item)
{
this.item = item;
}

public T Item
{
get { return this.item; }
set { this.item = value; }
}
}
ArrayList list = new ArrayList();
for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++)
{
list.Add(new ValueType<string>("string " + (i+1).ToString()));
}

this.radGridView1.DataSource = list;
