Question

I have class which has a method that needs to return three DataTables. I thought I could use Generics but honestly I’ve never used them, so I’m trying figure it out. It may not be the right thing here.

I have in my class Employee:

public List<Employee> GetEmployees() {   //calls to other methods in my class;   //psuedocode   GetDataTable1;   GetDataTable2;   GetDataTable3;    return all three datatables; } 

On my presentation side I have three gridviews:

I create my class Employee and call GetEmployees and get back my list of DataTable, then

gridview1.datasource = datatable1; gridview2.datasource = datatable2; gridview3.datasource = datatable3; 

I’m not sure how to proceed. I have tried the class method definition above but I’m not getting it right.

Hoping for advice. I do not wish to use three methods. I am using C# and asp.net 2.0.

Thank you.

You can add them all to a DataSet and return that
