I'm trying to bind data in a dataset (obtained from an Access DB) to a
listbox in ASP.net. I know my dataset is being created properly because
it displays fine in a datagrid, but I can't get it to display in a
listbox. Here's what I'm trying:
dgrDataGrid.DataSource = dstData.Tables("Manufacturer")
lstMake.datasource = dstData.Tables("Manufacturer")
Page.DataBind
There is only one column in the dataset's table, and the datagrid
displays it the way I want. But my listbox just repeats the line
"system.data.datarowview" over and over.
Any help is, as usual, appreciated.

You need to tell the listbox what to display. The default is the .toString
so you are getting the object type as each occurence.
LS
You need to tell it, from the dataset you get returned what to display and
what to assign to the 'value' of the item
Like Product for DataTextField and ProductID for DataValueField
