The object is to bind an array to particular column of asp.net gridview. Suppose we have a grid having 3 columns and an array say "data". Now we have to bind data array to grid's second column (binded by mycolumn). See following html code:

---------------------------------------------------------

<asp:GridView ID="GridViewTest" runat="server"

AutoGenerateColumns="False">

<Columns>

<asp:TemplateField HeaderText="Select">

<ItemTemplate>

<asp:CheckBox ID="CheckBox1" runat="server" />

</ItemTemplate>

</asp:TemplateField>

<asp:BoundField DataField="myColumn" HeaderText="TestColumn"/>

<asp:TemplateField HeaderText="Cost">

<ItemTemplate>

<asp:TextBox ID="TextBox2" runat="server"></asp:TextBox>

</ItemTemplate>

</asp:TemplateField>

</Columns>

</asp:GridView>

---------------------------------------------------------

We can bind data array to second column very easily using Linq. See following c# code:

---------------------------------------------------------

String[] data = { "test-1", "test-2", "test-3", "test-4", "test-5" };

GridViewTest.DataSource = from d in data

select new { myColumn = d };

GridViewTest.DataBind();

---------------------------------------------------------

Hope, It helps.
