how can i bind gridview to list<>:
what i have done is as follows:

var NameList = (from r in dataset.Tables[0].AsEnumerable()
                               select new
                               {
                                   Name = r.Field<string>("name"),
                                   Age = r.Field<string>("age"),
                                   Salary = r.Field<string>("salary"),
                                   City = r.Field<string>("city")
                               }).ToList(string);
               return  NameList;

error is coming like :

Quote:

Error 1 Invalid expression term 'string' d:\substituteofsqlhelp (2)\datalayer\DataLayer.cs 50 49 datalayer

why ?
what i had done earlier was :

//List<string> NameList = (from r in dataset.Tables[0].AsEnumerable()
              //                         select r.Field<string>("name")+ r.Field<string>("age")+r.Field<string>("salary")+r.Field<string>("city")).ToList();
              //return NameList;

but gives concatenated output. after AMY's help i wrote above code but again error was coming list like:

Quote:

Error 1 Cannot implicitly convert type 'System.Collections.Generic.List<anonymoustype#1>' to 'System.Collections.Generic.List<string>' d:\substituteofsqlhelp (2)\datalayer\DataLayer.cs 51 25 datalayer

how can i solve the problem . Thanx.
