What does your array contain? Just simple, primitive types (int,
string, etc.), or complex classes with properties? If it's the former,
read this article:

Binding a Scalar Array to a Data Web Control
http://aspnet.4guysfromrolla.com/articles/082504-1.aspx

If it's the latter, check out:

Displaying Custom Classes in a DataGrid
http://aspnet.4guysfromrolla.com/articles/102302-1.aspx

Once you have the data bound to the DataGrid, you can use the DataGrid's
sorting, paging, etc. features to implement the sorting and paging and
any other features you need. There's a ton of good DataGrid information
(including info on sorting and paging) in this 16-part articles series:

Happy Programming!

Hi Scott,

Your syntax looks a little weird, but, sure, you could create a string
array, populate it with the values, and then bind the string array to
the grid. The code might look like:

ArrayList s = new ArrayList();
s.Add(allRecords("1").ToString());
s.Add(allRecords("2").ToString());
....

DataGrid1.DataSource = s.ToArray(typeof(string));
DataGrid1.DataBind();


That ought to work.

Sorry Scott, i just found out that the array is a two dimensional array
arrlist[i,z]. Do you have any code that addresses this issue?
