thanks in advance..

you can indeed bind gridview list<t>, time, this:

create poco data

public class somedata {   public string somefield {get;set;}   public string someotherfield {get;set;} }

build list (either manually or result db query) e.g.

var mylist = new list<somedata>(); var myitem = new somedata() {   somefield = "hello",   someotherfield = "world" };

to filter data this:

myfilter = mytextbox.value; mylist = mylist.where(somedata => somedata.somefield.equals(myfiltervalue)).tolist();

bind gridview

mygridview.datasource = mylist; mygridview.databind();

and it!!
