GridView, accessing data

[Doogie]

Hi
I have a gridview on my web page and I bind it to an object of my own
creation. When I click a button on that page, I want to get the data
from that gridview and cast it back into that object I created and
start to do work on it. I tried something like this:

List<MyObject> myObject = (List<MyObject>)myGrid.DataSource;

But I noticed that when I get to this line, "myGrid.DataSource" is
null. Yet, I can access the "myGrid.Rows.Count" value and see the
correct number of rows in my grid.

How can I convert to my own object?

Hi Doogie

Are you sure that the Gridview is bound by the DataSource property and
not DatasourceID? They are not the same. The former requires an
explicit execution of the Databind method to load the data the latter
does not.
