Hi Mikael,

Can you give us more details? Do you have compiler error or something else?

Hi
Sorry for beeing unclear, I want to add rows to the object in the pageload like

PageLoad()
{
    TestData = new object[] {"Test", "71.72", "0.02", "0.03", ""},
}

Best regards

I don't understand what the problem do you have. If you use array as DataSource then you must use ArrayReader in Store. Can you explain what kind of problem?

May be this example can help you https://examples1.ext.net/#/GridPanel/ArrayGrid/Simple/

Yes I know. I want to use an array as datasource and it works great. BUT I want to add the objects dynamically and I dont know how to do that. As my first example the array contains 2 objects with the company names "3m Co" and "Wal-Mart Stores", But I dont know in advance how many objects I have, I want to be able to add theese objects in the page load method like this, but I dont know the syntax.

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    for (int i=0; i<10; i++)
    {
          TestData = new object[] {"Test"+i, "1", "1", "1", ""},
     }        
}

Hope you understand what I want to do

Thanks for clarifications. An array don't have functionality to add new data (it is a static size structure). I can suggest next solution if you need to add new data to array

        object[] data = new object[]
            {
                new object[] {"3m Co", 71.72, 0.02, 0.03, "9/1 12:00am"},              
                new object[] {"Wal-Mart Stores, Inc.", 45.45, 0.73, 1.63, "9/1 12:00am"}
            };

        ArrayList list = new ArrayList(data);

        //add new data
        list.Add(new object[] {"Wal-Mart Stores, Inc.", 45.45, 0.73, 1.63, "9/1 12:00am"});

        this.Store1.DataSource = list.ToArray();
        this.Store1.DataBind();

Hope this help
