RadGrid Simple Binding

[le N]

Hi buddies!

I'm facing a little problem with the RadGrid control.

I've got a simple RadGrid:

 <telerik:RadGrid ID="RadGrid1" runat="server"   OnNeedDataSource="RadGrid1_NeedDataSource">

    </telerik:RadGrid>

When i use this code eveything works and the data is well displayed :

 Protected Sub RadGrid1_NeedDataSource(ByVal [source] As Object, _
         ByVal e As GridNeedDataSourceEventArgs) _
         Handles RadGrid1.NeedDataSource
        Dim list As New ArrayList
        list.Add("string1")
        list.Add("string2")
        list.Add("string3")
        RadGrid1.DataSource = list



    End Sub

But when i try to use a custom class (Acontact) this is the class :

Public Class AContact
    Private _name As String
    Private _email As String




    Public Property Name() As String
        Get
            Return _name
        End Get
        Set(ByVal value As String)
            _name = Name
        End Set
    End Property

    Public Property Email() As String
        Get
            Return _email
        End Get
        Set(ByVal value As String)
            _email = Email
        End Set
    End Property




End Class

i try this, but the grid stays empty:

Protected Sub RadGrid1_NeedDataSource(ByVal [source] As Object, _
         ByVal e As GridNeedDataSourceEventArgs) _
         Handles RadGrid1.NeedDataSource


        Dim maListe As New List(Of SABerni.Gateway.AContact)


        Dim Contact1 As New SABerni.Gateway.AContact
        Contact1.Name = "demo"
        Contact1.Email = "emaildemo"

        maListe.Add(Contact1)


        RadGrid1.DataSource = maListe

    End Sub

Does anybody have an idea? Thanks a lot..

Hello Nicolas,

Actually RadGrid binds to the collection, but the cells for the items will remain empty. This is due to the fact that the properties for the class AContact are not correctly implemented. Correct implementations should look as bellow:

01.Public Class AContact
02.        Private _name As String
03.        Private _email As String
04.        Public Property Name() As String
05.            Get
06.                Return _name
07.            End Get
08.            Set(ByVal value As String)
09.                _name = value
10.            End Set
11.        End Property
12.
13.        Public Property Email() As String
14.            Get
15.                Return _email
16.            End Get
17.            Set(ByVal value As String)
18.                _email = value
19.            End Set
20.        End Property
21.    End Class
