Bind NameValueCollection to GridView?

What kind of collection I should use to convert NameValue collection to be bindable to GridView? When doing directly it didn't work.

Code in aspx.cs

  private void BindList(NameValueCollection nvpList)
  {
     resultGV.DataSource = list;
     resultGV.DataBind();
  }

Code in aspx

<asp:GridView ID="resultGV" runat="server" AutoGenerateColumns="False" Width="100%">
    <Columns>
         <asp:BoundField DataField="Key" HeaderText="Key" />
         <asp:BoundField DataField="Value" HeaderText="Value" />
    </Columns>
</asp:GridView>

Any tip most welcome. Thanks. X.

If you have a nested Repeater (or GridView too, I'm sure), you need to alter Mark Brackett's answer to look like this, or else you'll get a run-time error about not being able to find a control with the name of rpt.

<asp:Repeater ID="rpt" runat="server">
<ItemTemplate>
    <li>
        <%# Container.DataItem %>:
        <%# ((NameValueCollection)((Repeater)Container.Parent).DataSource)[(string)Container.DataItem] %>
    </li>    
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:Repeater>
