hi,

i am getting an exception while populating the data in the datagrid.

am getting the values into datatable and binding it to the datagrid but it is not
displaying the data and giving an exception like

System.ArgumentException: Empty path name is not legal.
at System.IO.FileStream.Init(String path, FileMode mode, FileAccess access, Int32 rights, Boolean useRights, FileShare share, Int32 bufferSize, FileOptions options, SECURITY_ATTRIBUTES secAttrs, String msgPath, Boolean bFromProxy)

That error message relates to File IO. That doesn't seem like something that would happen from a databind.
Check the line location for the error and post the code associated with it?

I am going out a limb here, but you have a StreamWriter somewhere. On the initialization of that StreamWriter, you passed an empty string as the file location.

Something like:

string FileLocation;
StreamWriter SWriter = new StreamWriter(FileLocation);
 

That will throw just that exception.
