I am a foxpro refugee and would like to know how to bind an array to a datagridview object. My goal is to provide users a way to enter and update the elements in an array.

I've personally been using a BindingList of custom objects, that way I can use the ComponentModel to define how exactly I want it displayed in the DataGridView without having to edit the DataGridView itself. To be clear.. I'm not positive of the best practices on this; this has just been working well for me.
in the main application I just do:
The configuration has a private BindingList that it already populated...
And then to control how it is displayed:
in the main application I just do:
Code:
...
[COLOR=#008000]//POPULATE THE MANAGE REPORTS TAB[/color][COLOR=#000000]
currentReportsView.DataSource = _configuration.Reports;[/color]
...The configuration has a private BindingList that it already populated...
Code:
...

_reports = [/color][COLOR=#0000FF]value[/color][COLOR=#000000];
