Question

Good day, just a quick question:
I would like to bind a table to a checkboxlist control, so I did this in the Page_Load method:

CBL_categ.DataSource = FilmsAccess.Pop_check();
CBL_categ.DataBind();

I specify that Pop_check returns a table of one column.

When I run, instead of the values in that column, I see "System.Data.DataRowView" a number of times, with the check boxes. I also tried:
CBL_categ.DataSource = FilmsAccess.Pop_check().Column[0]; but it gives this error: Data source is an invalid type. It must be either an IListSource, IEnumerable, or IDataSource.

Thanks a lot. Anna

EDIT: Here’s the Pop_check() method at request:

public static DataTable Pop_check()
        {
            DbCommand com = GenericDataAccess.CreateCommand();
            com.CommandText = "Catalog_CBL";
            DataTable table = GenericDataAccess.ExecuteSelectCommand(com);
            return table;

        }

In the ASCX file bind following two field, preferably by name

<asp:CheckBoxList ID="cblMyList" runat="server" 
   DataTextField="ID" DataValueField="ID"></asp:CheckBoxList>
