Show child object properties in GridView

Here we have a simple trick.

I'll introduce my objects first.



Nothing to worry about. If I show you the XML view of the User[], it should looks like below.



Now we can assign this to a GridView.
Code:

GridView1.DataSource = UserList;
GridView1.DataBind();

Design:
Dont forget to import the objects namespaces in the page header in the HTML view.

Explanation:

I'm using to show the child object property values in to the grid.


What we are doing here is to match the Parent object property name Home to access the child object. Actually it is a object of Address type. So that I can cast the object to Address type and access the child property Country.

Assign object list to a GridView in asp.net 2.0

Simply follow the scenario below.

1. Drag a GridView control to the page.
2. Assign the Object list into the grid as below.
// c# - Bind data to the drop down
GridView1.DataSource = userList;
GridView1.DataBind();

3. Run the application. That's all.

If you need to show only few columns, do the following.
1. Go to GridView Properties.
2. Open the "columns" property.
3. Uncheck the check box "Auto-Generate fields".
4. Add any type of fields and set the "DataField" to a property in your object for the selected field. For example "UserName".
