How to bind an List<List<String>> to the gridview ?

[Aurélien Dubosson]

Hi everyone,

I recover with a webservice a List <List<String>> object and I would like to show this list into my Datagridview.

I try to make a Gris.ItemSource = e.result but nothing appears ;-(

What's the problem ?

Thanks a lot.

Anyone have an idea ?

Hi,

Can you post more info about your scenario? Do you get different result with standard DataGrid?

Hi Vlad,

Thanks for your interest, also in my server side I create a list<list<String>> like that : 

SRC/DST        192.168 .1.1         192.168.1.2

192.168 .1.1

192.168.1.2

because I need a 2 dimensionnal array.

The webservice send a 2 dimensionnal array String[][] to my Silverlight's client. But when I try to bind it into my Gridview.

The result isn't good.

Hello,

Why not use the approach from this blog post instead?

The problem with the example is that I cannot use :

table.Columns.Cast<DataColumn>();

because my asp.net service is created with Mono and he hasn't System.Linq implemented also I cannot use Cast Function.

Is there another way ?

Hi,

In this case you can still use List<List<String>> server-side however populate the grid on the client client using our Silverlight DataTable.

I try to make it but I show the gridview but nothing inside cases. I don't understand why ?

Hello,

The idea is to read List<List<String>>, create our Silverlight DataTable with desired columns and rows and bind this table to the grid.

Kind regards,

I have my datatable but when I bind it into the gridview, I have the correct numbers of cell but nothing inside (no text) ;-(

My code is the following : 

 String[][] res = e.Result;

            DataTable table = new DataTable();

            for (int i = 0; i < res.Length; i++)

            {

                table.Columns.Add(new DataColumn() { ColumnName = i.ToString(), DataType = typeof(string) });

            }

            foreach(String[] s in res)

            {

                DataRow row = new DataRow();

                for (int j = 0; j < s.Length;j++ )

                {

                    System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine(s[0]);

                    row[j.ToString()] = s[j];

                }

                table.Rows.Add(row);

            }

            

           

            Grid.ItemsSource = table;
