    Fill DataList with a String[,]

    My question is very simple.

    How do I fill a datalist with a 2D String array?

    My array is of type String [x,2]

    I need to know this because I need to display a list of attributes and their value. Those attributes are fields like "name", "age", "country".

    [x,0] always contains the attributename and
    [x,1] always contains the value

    Thank you in advanced.
    I hope the question is clear.

    Code:
                     DataTable dt = new DataTable();
                     DataRow dr;
    
                     // Define the columns of the table.
                     dt.Columns.Add(new DataColumn("Attribute", typeof(String)));
                     dt.Columns.Add(new DataColumn("Value", typeof(String)));
    
                     // Populate the table with values.
                     for (int i = 0; i < attributes.Length; i++)
                     {
                         dr = dt.NewRow();
    
                         dr[0] = attributes[i,0];//attributename
                         dr[1] = attributes[i,1];//attributevalue
    
                         dt.Rows.Add(dr);
                     }
    
                     DataView dv = new DataView(dt);
    
    
                     dtlmydatalist.DataSource = dv;
                    dtlmydatalist.DataBind();
    I found the answer, I am converting it first to a DataView and after that I am adding it (allthough according to the prototype of the datasource property it should be able to accept an array too, but that just doesnt seem to work, maybe because my array is a 2d array).
