I wrote this a while back. It seems to fit fairly well with what you're asking. The key being to cast your dataitem into the class object.

hi.. you can fill dataview with the help of this function. try this..

public object getdata(string str)
{
string constr;
constr = "ConnectionString";
SqlConnection con = new SqlConnection(constr);
con.Open();
object a;
SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand(str,con);
a = cmd.ExecuteScalar();
con.Close();
return a;
}
