[Solved] Binding columns from all items in a list

[melkorman]

Hello,

I'm not sure if this question has been asked before, but anyway;

I have an ObjectDataSource that I want to bind to a Grid. The objects in the data source has one property that is a list, and I would like all of the items in that list to become their own columns. Lets pretend it looks like this:

public class Foo
{
   public int Id { get; set; }
   public string X { get; set; }
   public List<Bar> Bars { get; set; }
}

public class Bar
{
   public int Id { get; set; }
   public string Y { get; set; }
}

If my data source has a collection of Foo objects, can I make the grid show columns for the following values?
Foo.Id, Foo.X, Foo.Bars[0].Y, Foo.Bars[1].Y, ..., Foo.Bars[n].Y

Thanks a lot!
