ASP.net datagrid with more than 1 datasource

Hi

Is it possible to build a datagrid with one column having test1 as a
datasource and another column having test2 as a datasource:
string[] test1 = new string[]{"1", "2", "3"};

string[] test2 = new string[]{"John", "Marc", "Tom"};

I just want a table that looks like this:

1    John

2    Marc

3    Tom

Is this possible with a WebDatagrid or do i have to use another object?

Regards

Jim

When data binding, the grid can only cope wiht one data source at a time.
You'll have to merge your two data sources into one.

Or the other thing you could do is to manually iterate over your datasources
and manually build the Grid.

It looks like you are using two distinct arrays to store related
information. IMO it would be really better to have an array with structures
or classes in such a case. Not only it should solve the problem (plus for
example if you want to sort or whatever else it will be easier to have a
"row of data" in each cell rather than having n array each one storing just
a column).
