[Solved] Populate DataGrid with C#

[Robert]

I am writing to ask how best a DataGrid can be populated programmatically, in C#;

The code is calling out to a WCF Service application, and brings back results in a list;

The below code displays an error of "cannot convert type string to DataGridColumn"

Any insight, guidance is appreciated;

scData = new Service4Client(); 
var newTestSC = await scData.GetVWScorecardAsync(capFMFY, capGeoName, capSegment); 
scI = newTestSC.Count; 

for (int i = 0; i < scI; i++) 
{ for (int j = 0; j < 5; j++) 
    { 
        this.rdgVWAccounts.Columns[j] = newTestSC[i].MetricDisplayName; 
    } 
}

Hi Robert,

Thank you for your question.

When you retrieve the data list from the service application, you have to convert the list to collection of business objects where each object represents a row and each property of the object represents a column within the grid. More information may be found in our online documentation.

I hope this helps. Let me know if you have any other questions.
