Binding object method to Dataview.. Not understanding List<GENERIC> ..

[webmaster]

Pardon my being a total C# noob.

I'm trying to take apart the dotNet Time Tracker dotNet C# starterkit
sample application and replicate a part of the code.

At a high level, I have a very simple SQL server table and stored
procedure which I have no problems binding from directly from an
ASP.NET control...

Table BOOK
name varchar(50)
phone varchar(10)
ALTER procedure "jcp1"
@name varchar(50) AS
SELECT phone FROM book where name = @name

What I'm trying to do is return a dataview given a textbox value passed
to to the stored procedure, but using C# method and List<like they do
in the sample Ap. Eventough I might not need to, I'm trying to use a
generic List but I'm just not getting it.

I reverted my code to the closest working revision, the below code is
apparently fetching the correct row, however I am unable to see or list
no other other items except LENGTH of the returning field when
configuring the control in the UI . I suspect this is because I'm using
List<stringand not List<whaterver>.

The Dataview source is the method getphone() with a where clause of a
textbox = name
The idea being, if I enter "Jason" in the texbox, the dataview would
list phone with name "Jason"..
I'm sure there is more right than wrong with the below - I just taking
shots in the dark at this point.

Thank you for ANY help or information.
