Set the DataSource property to the DataSet.
DataSet dsClientReview = this.ClientReviewController.GetClientReveiwList(e.SearchString);
this.grdMainDataGrid.DataSource = dsClientReview;
this.grdMainDataGrid.DataBind();

>>Since this is for lookup purpose and not using for updates I would just create your stored procedure to return what you want and then in your business object you can return a DataSet rather than an entity list and calling that stored procedure. This way you join whatever you want from your tables.
