Datagrid binding to ArrayList: How to add items (Compact Framework)

Zones: Windows MobileProgramming, C# Programming Language

Tags: c#

good day.

I have the need to bind a datagrid to an arraylist. the code attached works for the first two items that are added. However, the application requires additional items to be added to the arraylist and i need the grid to update accordingly.

the sample provided has a button click event that adds a new item to the collection and updates the currencymanager; however, the grid does not add the new item (AA-909, in the example).

this code uses the compact framework.

any help is appreciated. thanks.
