Cannot bind to a IList collection

[Dave Sanders]

I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong, but I have a very basic grid set up, with two columns defined, both of which map to public properties on my objects contained within an IList. Whenever I try to set the datasource of the grid to my list, I get this error:

"A list corresponding to the selected DataMember was not found"

What does this error mean, and can you give me an example for attaching to an IList?

Hi Dave,

Thanks for your interest in Syncfusion products.

You can bind the Grid with the Ilist. Please refer the sample in the link below:

Please try running the sample and let me know if this helps.

Thanks,
Janagan.

Well, I found I could get it to work if I changed my collection. I have a collection object that uses:

CollectionBase, ITypedList, IBindingList, IList, ICollection, IEnumerable

If I try to bind that to the grid, I get this error:

A list corresponding to the selected DataMember was not found.

If I iterate through my collection and copy all of the items over to a type of IList<>, I can bind it without an error.

I'll go about doing it this way, but just figured I'd bring it up.

Hi Dave,

Thanks for your interest in Syncfusion products.

I am afraid that I am not able to reproduce the issues, you have mentioned here. Please refer the following steps, that I tried to reproduce it:

1.Created a sample with GGC.
2.Binded it with Collection object
3.It doesn’t throw any exception.

When GGC is binded with Collection object no need to set the DataMember property, It is not needed with Collection object.

I have created a simple sample illustrating the above:

Please have a look at the above sample and if still the issue exists, Could you please try reproducing it in the above sample? So that we could sort out the cause of the issue very fast and provide you a better solution.
