I have an Email object.

public class Email{
    public string emailAddress;
    public bool primary;
    public int c

ASP.NET Databinding is a one-way operation in terms of object manipulation. However, the DataSource property will contain a reference to your EmailCollection throughout the response:

EmailCollection col = (EmailCollection)this.GridView1.DataSource;

But I have a feeling that what you really want is a control that manipulates your EmailCollection based on user input and retrieve it in the next request. Not even webforms can fake that kind of statefulness out of the box.
