Binding to generic IList
posted
I bind a grid to a List of custom data objects. That custom object has a property of type IList. I would expect this to show as a child band to the parent row but it shows as a column displaying the ToString of the instance: "System.ComponentModel.BindingList'1[string]"

If I change my property to be have return type of BindingList instead of IList the child bands show. Why does the child band not show when my property type is IList?

Thanks.

    Is it a regular IList or a generic IList<>? The BindingManager in DotNet does not seem to recognize the generic IList<> as a valid list. You can use List<>, instead, though. Or BindingList<> is even better if you need to do more robust data modification like adding new rows.
