Error when binding to generic collection (IEnumerable)

Hi Darren,

I am not able to replicate your issue since I do not have your IEnumerable data. However, from what I see on your code, we cannot use <grid>.DataSource in InitializeDataSource. What you might want to do is to write it like this:

e.DataSource = faqs;

And, as well, you do not need to do the DataBind() anymore. I hope it helps you and please let me know if you have any other questions. Thank you.

Hi,

I am getting an "unsupported data source type" error when binding to a generic collection of IEnumerable<T>. The problem occurs when I bind from within the InitializeDataSource event, however, the grid does bind correctly when I place the same code outside of this event and call it explicitly. Is this approach not recommende? Here is my binding code:

 protected void grd_Faqs_InitializeDataSource(object sender, ISNet.WebUI.WebGrid.DataSourceEventArgs e)
    {
        IEnumerable<Faq> faqs = _service.ListFaqs();

        grd_Faqs.DataSource = faqs;
        grd_Faqs.DataBind();
    }
