Invalid cast!

[Adam Knight]

Hi all,

I am using the following code to specify datasource for a datagrid:
<bma:subAreasGrid id="subAreasGrid" runat="server" Data='<%#
Container.DataItem.Row.GetChildRows("relSubAreas") %>'></bma:subAreasGrid>

When the Data property of the user control recieves the data object it
recieves it as a 'Object'
I am trying to cast it to a useable format for binding it to the datagrids
datasource.

I have tried casting it to datarow, data row collection but none have
worked.

Can anyone tell me where i am going wrong?

Still learning the ropes here, so any help is appreciated.

Well, you can debug your code, add a breakpoint and a watch to the object
and the debugger should tell you what type it really is.

My guess is that it's a DataRowView or DataView (probably DataRowView)
