Arraylist binding to datagrid...

[AV]

I am trying to bind a arraylist with custom Employee
objects to a datagrid. I was debugging this code and
found that the arraylist is populated with 45 Employee
objects.....

Then I do this in the code behind :

// Binding datasource
dgEmployeeList.DataSource = arrEmployeeList;
dgEmployeeList.DataBind();


Here's the HTML view :

<Columns>
<asp:BoundColumn DataField='<%# DataBinder.Eval
(Container.DataItem, "EmployeeID")%>'
HeaderText="EmployeeID">
</asp:BoundColumn>
</Columns>



When the page is run, I get the following error message.

"A field or property with the name '"<%# Databinder.Eval
(Container.DataItem, "EmployeeID" %>"' was not found on
the selected datasource. "


Although in debug mode I successfully retrieved the value
for the EmployeeID from the objects in the arraylist.


I just don't know where am I going wrong


Any help will be highly appreciated.

Thanks

Thanks Ravi for the link, but this link refers to the
datagrid control dealing with windows forms .....I need
to figure out a way to do this in with ASP. I think there
is a problem with the way the late binding is done using
Databinder.Eval .....or something like that. That's what
I need to get right.
