Bining To List of Basic types does not work

List testList = new List();
testList.Add("ABC");
testList.Add("DEF");
testList.Add("GHI");

gridDataBoundGrid1.DataSource = testList;

When I try to run this code it displays a grid with a column name Lenth and values 3 on each row. I am expecting to see ABC,DEF etc. and not the string class properties? This is true for all the basic types. How can I make the grid display the appropriate values?
