If I want to set the DataSource property on a BindingSource to an IList<>, do I need an explicit cast as the following error message says or am I doing something wrong?
interface IView
{
IList<OrderItems> BindingSource { get; set;}
}
public partial class Form1 : Form, IView
{
public Form1()
{
InitializeComponent();
}
private BindingSource _bindingSource;
public IList<OrderItems> BindingSource
{
get { return _bindingSource; }
set
{
_bindingSource.DataSource = value;
dataGridView1.DataSource = _bindingSource;
}
}
}

Cannot implicitly convert type ‘System.Windows.Forms.BindingSource’ to ‘System.Collections.Generic.IList’. An explicit conversion exists (are you missing a cast?)
