"gridview Object does not match target type" error during binding collection of different type object

It seems that we can't bind a collection of instance of different type.

Let's have an example:

// My POCO
public interface ITest
{ string Name { get;set;} }

public class A : ITest
{
private string _name;
public string Name
{
get{ return _name;}
set{ _name = value;}
}

public class B : ITest
{
private string _name;
public string Name
{
get{ return _name;}
set{ _name = value;}
}

// My asp.net page
// 1 - populate my list
List<ITest> myList = new List<ITest>();
A a = new A();
a.Name = "my name is A";
myList.Add(a)

B b = new B();
b.Name = "my name is B";
myList.Add(b);

// the binding with gridview
myGridView.Data Source = myList:
myGridView.Data Bind();

generate an exception on the last line:

Object does not match target type.
Exception Details: System.Reflecti on.TargetExcept ion: Object does not
match target type.
[TargetInvocatio nException: Property accessor 'Name' on object 'B'
threw the following exception:'Obje ct does not match target type.']

Any idea?

In the following file below, I want it to return itself as a Rich Text Format file that populates the variables with data from the database. I set up the mime types and the filename accordingly. Now, when I call this page on a Linux system, using the Mozilla browser, it opens a dialog, asks me whether I want to save it or open it, and if I open it, opens it as test.rtf, just like I tell it to in the Content-Disposition header.

Howdy! I posted this question on CSharpCorner.com, but then realized I should probably post it on a more active newsgroup. This will be my only cross-post. I'm creating a game engine, and using CodeDOM for my scripting needs (I realize I could use yacc or something else, but I wanted to try using CodeDOM -- this is more of an exercise for me to learn this stuff). Well, I compile my in-game scripts just fine. See appendix A for my code

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
