I already have the datatable. I just need to fill it in the list view. The problem is that I'm running into this error:'System.Web.UI.WebControls.ListView' does not contain a definition for 'DisplayMember' and no extension method 'DisplayMember' accepting a first argument of type 'System.Web.UI.WebControls.ListView' could be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)I thought the list view had a "DisplayMember" property? This is ASP .NET 4.0, by the way.\[code\]namespace Eagle_Replication_Manager{ public partial class wfrmMain : System.Web.UI.Page { protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e) { //on page load, I want to get a database table and populate this list view: lvItems.DataSource = GetSourceDBs(); //This does not work, error here: lvItems.DisplayMember = "Description"; } private DataTable GetSourceDBs() { using (SqlConnection conn = new SqlConnection(AppVars.connectionString)) { using (SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand("SELECT [Description] FROM [Warehouse].[dbo].[Items]", conn)) { conn.Open(); cmd.ExecuteNonQuery(); using (SqlDataAdapter da = new SqlDataAdapter(cmd)) { using (DataTable dt = new DataTable()) { da.Fill(dt); return dt; } } } } } }}\[/code\]
