.NET Forum / ASP.NET / General / April 2008Noob question - binding data to list box (system.data.datarowview?)
I'm trying to bind data in a dataset (obtained from an Access DB) to a listbox in ASP.net. I know my dataset is being created properly because it displays fine in a datagrid, but I can't get it to display in a listbox. Here's what I'm trying: dgrDataGrid.DataSource = dstData.Tables("Manufacturer") lstMake.datasource = dstData.Tables("Manufacturer") Page.DataBind There is only one column in the dataset's table, and the datagrid displays it the way I want. But my listbox just repeats the line "system.data.datarowview" over and over. Any help is, as usual, appreciated. > I'm trying to bind data in a dataset (obtained from an Access DB) to a > listbox in ASP.net.

The default is the .toString so you are getting the object type as each occurence. LS Replies solved my problem.
