Generics collection<T> bindinglist<T>

[Mike Surcouf]

Hi All

I have a stored procedure wrapper that returns Collection<T>.
The wrapper is generated by codesmith so I don't really want to start
altering it.
I need to use this collection in a datagridview.
I would like the ability to add to this collection or delete from this
collection using the grid.
I know I will need to use Bindinglist<T> for this but I don't seem to be
able to cast from
collection<T> to bindinglist<T>

Sample Code

gridRows = (BindingList<SalesInvoiceListCompassSelectRow>)row s;

Error I get is

Unable to cast object of type
'System.Collections.ObjectModel.Collection`1[CompassEdi.SalesInvoiceListCompassSelectRow]'
to type
'System.ComponentModel.BindingList`1[CompassEdi.SalesInvoiceListCompassSelectRow]'.

Maybe I have to iterate through Collection<T> and add to BindingList<T>.

Or maybe someone has an easier way

Many Thanks

Mike

I think you can use the Collection<T> constructor that takes an IList<T>
parameter, i.e.
gridRows = new BindingList<SalesInvoiceListCompassSelectRow>(rows );
