populate a datagridview from objects

I'm working on reading data from a spreadsheet and outputing it into a
datagridview in a windows form (.net 2.0). The problem I've found is that I'm
getting 84 rows where only one cell is populated, instead of 7 rows with with
12 cells populated. I think the problem is that I don't understand how to use
an ArrayList properly, or I need to use a more appropriate collection... but
then again it could be something completely different.
The key actions are these lines:

myList.Add(reco rd);
dgvSource.DataS ource = myList;

Could anyone give me some insight as to why my grid is not getting populated
correctly?

private void listWorksheets_ SelectedIndexCh anged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
ArrayList myList = new ArrayList();
Int32 headerRow = 2;
dgvSource.DataS ource = "";
_sheet =
(Worksheet)_she ets.get_Item(li stWorksheets.Se lectedIndex + 1);
Object[,] saRet;
String valueString;
String myString = "";
for (int i = (headerRow + 1); i <= 10; i++)
{ // loop through 10 rows
Excel.Range range = _sheet.get_Rang e("A" + i.ToString(), "L"
+ i.ToString());

//Retrieve the data from the range.
saRet =
(System.Object[,])range.get_Valu e(System.Reflec tion.Missing.Va lue);
// another way to get the data that works also:
//System.Array myvalues = (System.Array)r ange.Cells.Valu e2;
//valueString = "Array Data\n";

for (int j = 1; j <= 12; j++)
{
//Write the next value into the string.
//valueString = String.Concat(v alueString, saRet[1,
j].ToString() + " | ");
MyItem record = new MyItem();
switch (j)
{
case 6:
record.typeCode = saRet[1, j].ToString();
break;
case 2:
record.acctNum = saRet[1, j].ToString();
break;
case 3:
//string
record.acctName = saRet[1, j].ToString();
break;
case 1:
record.dateOfRe port =
System.Convert. ToDateTime(saRe t[1, j].ToString());
break;
case 7:
record.postDate =
System.Convert. ToDateTime(saRe t[1, j].ToString());
break;
case 4:
record.effDate =
System.Convert. ToDateTime(saRe t[1, j].ToString());
break;
case 8:
record.beginBal ance = Decimal.Parse(s aRet[1,
j].ToString());
break;
case 9:
record.payment = Decimal.Parse(s aRet[1,
j].ToString());
break;
case 10:
record.origComm ission = Decimal.Parse(s aRet[1,
j].ToString());
break;
case 11:
record.calcComm ission = Decimal.Parse(s aRet[1,
j].ToString());
break;
case 12:
record.change = Decimal.Parse(s aRet[1,
j].ToString());
break;
default:
continue;
}
myList.Add(reco rd);
record = null;
}

//Write in a new line.
//valueString = String.Concat(v alueString, "\n");
//MessageBox.Show (valueString);
}
dgvSource.DataS ource = myList;
}

I have a remote web-method that returns an array of strongly-typed objects; on the client this gets a schema-based representation (as per wsdl.exe). I have an array of (for instance) SearchResult objects; this has some simple properties (which work fine), and some that are more complex - i.e. a Customer property that is of type Person, which itself has properties Name and Ref. I want to bind a DataGridView to a List<SearchResult>; this...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
