DataGridView - custom collection object

[Rob]

Hi all,

I have my own collection object which implements ienumerable and
inerator.

The collection object holds a number of "Request" objects (another
custom object).

The problem I've run into is when I databind my collection to the
gridview.

I have this line to set up the bound fields:

dgvRequests.Columns.Add(CreateBoundField("UserID"))

which works nicely....

The problem is that I want to change my Request object to hold a
"User" object which will have its own properties... so in the above -
can I do something like this?

dgvRequests.Columns.Add(CreateBoundField("User.Username"))

for example, or will the . not be recognised? If that's the case,
does that mean I'll have to put all of the properties I want to extend
from Request.User etc into Request?

ie,

User.Forename
User.Surname

are both properties of User

But to access them in the gridview using the Request object as the
enumerator, do I have to expose them like this:

Request.UserForname - which would return Request.User.Forename etc?

Any help would be appreciated... I'm trying not to change the
structure of my objects to much as so far its all been plain sailing
but using the gridview to expose data from these objects has proved a
little troublesome...

Kind regards
