gridview not displaying data.

[=?Utf-8?B?UGF1bA==?=]

Hi I get the error (the data source for the gridview does not have any
properties from which do generate columns)
I am binding the data as follows, errors out on the databind line.
The linksDataRepository is retrieved from a session variable and is working
ok.
linksDataRepository = (List<structRepo>)Session["linksDataRepository"];
if (linksDataRepository != null)
{
gridview.DataSource = linksDataRepository;//
gridview.DataBind();
}
and for the gridview I have
<Columns>
<asp:BoundField DataField="abspath" HeaderText="absolute path" />
<asp:BoundField DataField="description" HeaderText="description" />
<asp:BoundField DataField="icount" HeaderText="Count" />
<asp:BoundField DataField="url" HeaderText="Url" />
</Columns>
as the structRepo is a structure with data abspath (string), description
(string), icount (Integer), url (string). Any ideas?
thanks.

Hi Paul,

Please refer to the link below. this shows how you can bind the Grid to a
List.

Hi,

I can see that you have some bound columns...
so after gridview's autogeneratecolumn property set to false...
suppose to solve the problem
try setting autogeneratecolumn false...
Best of luck

You can databind to properties, not to structure fields.
