System.NullReferenceException: Object variable or With block varia

[Sandy]

Hello -

I don't know if it's possible or not, but I am trying to bind data from a
Sql Server DB to the header in a datalist. I received the above error
message.

First, is it possible to bind data from a DB to the header and if so, what
could be causing the error message?

Alternatively, can you only put text in the header of a datalist?

Sandy,
You didn't provide any code many it very difficult to imagine what the error
is...

Yyou can't bind data to a header in the typical databinding sense.
Information is bound row-by-row to the individual items...There's no row
assigned to the header...you can set values of the header progamatically
however...

myGrid.Columns(0).HeaderText =
myDataSet.Tables(0).Rows(0)("Blah").ToString()

or something similar...
