Hi Adam,

You can convert the string array into datatable and load the datatable to the gridlistcontrol celltype. Here is a code snippet.

//QueryCellInfo event
e.Style.CellType="GridListControl";
e.Style.DataSource = ct; ///ct is coverted from string[] to Datatable.
e.Style.DisplayMember = "ChoiceListColumn";
e.Style.ValueMember = "ChoiceListColumn";

private DataTable ConvertToTable(string[] cString)
{
DataTable dTable = new DataTable("StringArray");
dTable.Columns.Add("ChoiceListColumn");
foreach(string sValue in cString)
{
DataRow dr = dTable.NewRow();
dr[0] = sValue;
dTable.Rows.Add(dr);
}
return dTable;
}
