How to dump this data to a DataGridView o

Answer 1

Let's assume you have a class like this:

public class Staff
{
    public int ID { get; set; }
    public string Name { get; set; }
}

And assume you have dragged and dropped a DataGridView to your form, and name it dataGridView1.

You need a BindingSource to hold your data to bind your DataGridView. This is how you can do it:

private void frmDGV_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    //dummy data
    List lstStaff = new List();
    lstStaff.Add(new Staff()
    {
        ID = 1,
        Name = "XX"
    });
    lstStaff.Add(new Staff()
    {
        ID = 2,
        Name = "YY"
    });

    //use binding source to hold dummy data
    BindingSource binding = new BindingSource();
    binding.DataSource = lstStaff;

    //bind datagridview to binding source
    dataGridView1.DataSource = binding;
}
