I am trying to populate a a dropdown box with the field names of a Ds to enable a user to select query Fields.

so i tried to use and arraylist something like this

dim lafldnames As New ArrayList
For intColumn = 0 To dsGrid.Tables(0).Columns.Count - 1

lafldnames.Add(dsGrid.Tables(0).Columns(intColumn).ColumnName.ToString)

next

DropDownList1.DataSource = Me.lafldnames
DropDownList1.DataBind()


however I get an error

DataBinder.Eval: 'System.String' does not contain a property with the name dsGrid.Tables(0).Columns(intColumn).ColumnName.ToString
