Question

I’d like to add a new dataBinding to a control in a report.

Usually I add a IEnumerable<someObject> to my bindings:

this.MyControl.DataBindings.Add("Text", this.CustomerDataSource, "Name");

But now I’d like to use an IEnumerable<string>

this.MyControl.DataBindings.Add("Text", this.MyStringDatasource, "?");

What would be the dataMember in this case? (I’m using a XtraReport from devExpress)

It wouldn’t surprise me if that simply won’t work; however, you can use a trivial projection, such as:

 var bindThis = sequence.Select(
     s => new { Value = s });

Then the member name is "Value"
