Binding Hashtable to GridDataBoundGrid

[Allen Foster]

Can I bind (datasource=) a Hasttable to a databoundgrid?
If so how? I tried and got the following exception:
BadDataSourceForComplexBinding

btw - I tried both the Hashtable as well as Hashtable.Values

Hi Allen,

The reason is that the Hashtable class does not implement the IList interface, which is required for data binding. In order to get around this, you should provide an implementation of IList on the Hashtable, which will return the DictionaryEntry structures for each item in the list. This will cause the key/value pairs to be shown in the data grid.
