Problem databinding gridview to datatable

Hi all,

basically I had a repeater that i needed to be able to now update row by row. I thought the easiest way would be to replace with a datagrid.

Here is the code:

Code:

---

<asp:GridView  ID="grdNonEligible"
                runat="server"
                AutoGenerateColumns="False"
                OnRowEditing="grdNonEligible_RowEditing"
                OnRowCancelingEdit="grdNonEligible_RowCancelingEdit"
                OnRowUpdating="grdNonEligible_RowUpdating" DataKeyNames="BidID" >
    <Columns>
        <asp:TemplateField HeaderStyle-CssClass="FormDesciptionBox" ItemStyle-CssClass="FormContentBox" HeaderText="Name">
            <ItemTemplate>
                <asp:Literal ID="litName" runat="server" />
            </ItemTemplate>
        </asp:TemplateField>
        <asp:BoundField HeaderText="Registered" ReadOnly="true" DataField="registrationdate"  HeaderStyle-CssClass="FormDesciptionBox" ItemStyle-CssClass="FormContentBox"  />
        <asp:BoundField HeaderText="Username" ReadOnly="true" DataField="username"  HeaderStyle-CssClass="FormDesciptionBox" ItemStyle-CssClass="FormContentBox"  />
        <asp:BoundField HeaderText="Band Date" ReadOnly="true" DataField="bandingdate" HeaderStyle-CssClass="FormDesciptionBox" ItemStyle-CssClass="FormContentBox"  />
        <asp:BoundField HeaderText="Other Offers" ReadOnly="true" DataField="offers" HeaderStyle-CssClass="FormDesciptionBox" ItemStyle-CssClass="FormContentBox"  />
    </Columns>
</asp:GridView>

In code behind I then pull the data, fill a repater with one half of the data and the other half I want into the datagrid (Split by a boolean value using datagrid select)

I want to control some of the data on row bound so have put this in

Code:

---


Protected Sub grdNonEligible_RowDataBound(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Web.UI.WebControls.GridViewRowEventArgs) Handles grdNonEligible.RowDataBound
        Dim drv As DataRow = CType(e.Row.DataItem, DataRow)
        If e.Row.RowType = DataControlRowType.DataRow AndAlso drv IsNot Nothing AndAlso grdNonEligible.EditIndex = -1 Then
            CType(e.Row.FindControl("litname"), Literal).Text = drv("forename") & " " & drv("surname")
        End If
    End Sub

---

Now, when I databind like this:

Code:

---

ds = BServies.getAdvertBids(Request.QueryString("AdID"))

            If Not ds Is Nothing Then
                If ds.Tables(0).Rows.Count > 0 Then
                    Bidders.DataSource = ds.Tables(0).Select("eligible=1")
                    Bidders.DataBind()
                    grdNonEligible.DataSource = ds.Tables(0).Select("eligible=0")
                    grdNonEligible.DataBind()
                Else
                    Bids.Visible = False
                    BidsNon.Visible = False
                    NoBidsMade.Visible = True
                End If
            Else
                Bids.Visible = False
                BidsNon.Visible = False
                NoBidsMade.Visible = True
            End If

---

I get this error:
DataBinding: 'System.Data.DataRow' does not contain a property with the name 'BidID'.

Even though this field is part of my data.

If I take away the select filtering, I then get this error on rowdatabound
Unable to cast object of type 'System.Data.DataRowView' to type 'System.Data.DataRow'.

Help please

Hello,

Is it possible that you can show the code behind this:

Code:

---

ds = BServies.getAdvertBids(Request.QueryString("AdID"))
