Best way bind "data" without a database source

[d[ - - ]b]

Hi, not sure if this would be the right place. Kinda new to .net, but have
a task / exercise where we must use a datagrid, datalist etc (one of them)
without any invovlement of a database. We must use the contents of an array
to display the data in one of them. Which is possible / recommendable? I
can't find anything anywhere that doesnt state there must be a database as a
source. Can anyone please assist? Datalist looks possible, but only
examples i'm finding are extracting data from a db.

Thanks for your help you can offer
Naomi

Nevermind (unless i'm wrong?).........Just make the datasource refer to the
array?

Yep, the DataSource can be any object that implements IEnumerable, such
as an Array, an ArrayList, a Hashtable, etc., etc. In fact, you can
create your own classes that implement IEnumerable and bind them to the
DataGrid. See:
