Title Body

I'm looking to load a GridView with a generic list and have the columns be auto-generated. I am getting an exception that it does not have the correct properties to allow it to auto-generate the columns. Exception The data source for GridView with id 'GV1' did not have any properties or attributes from which to generate columns. Ensure that your data source has content. GridView <asp:GridView ID="GV1" runat="server" AutoGenerateColumns="true"></asp:GridView> Page Load //LINQ query to populate list List<student> su = new List<student>(); dbDataContext db = new dbDataContext(); var q = from c in db.data_table where c.processed == false orderby c.date_complete descending select c; //iterate through results and add to list foreach(var c in q) { student s = new student { name = c.name, address = c.address }; su.Add(s); } //Load GridView GV1.DataSource = su; GV1.DataBind(); //Exception thrown here Student Class public class student { public string name; public string address; } Any thoughts or suggestions are appreciated, feel free to let me know if I'm going about this completely wrong.
