I am using VS 2003 and trying to build a standalone application. I have been writing all my asp.net work using DW and am just now trying to build a application that will read some of the tables I had written out from my web apps.

I can get my DataReader to read my data fine. But I wanted to use a DataGrid, but it is apparently completely different????

I can do:

DataGrid1.DataSource = dbReader
DataGrid1.DataBind()

I get an error saying something about: "Complex DataBinding accepts as a data source either an IList or an IListSource".

There also doesn't seem to be a DataBind() method to this DataGrid?

Why doesn't it work?

Can I not make a standalone program using the same techniques as I do in my Web pages (asp.net)?

Thanks,

You can not bind a datareader to a datasource. You will need to either load it into a datatable by looping through the datareader or use a dataadapter to do what you want.
