You can use a dictionary to bind

ASP.NET

<asp:datalist id="datalist" runat="server" datakeyfield="Key" xmlns:asp="#unknown">
    <itemtemplate>
        <asp:label runat="server" text="<%# Eval("Value") %>"></asp:label>
    </itemtemplate>
</asp:datalist>

Code

C#

Dictionary<string,> dictionary = new Dictionary<string,>()
    {
        {"a", "aaa"},
        {"b", "bbb"},
        {"c", "ccc"}
    };
    datalist.DataSource = dictionary;
    datalist.DataBind();

Hi,
As Sandip said, you can use any IDictionary, array, collections, etc; anything that implements the IEnumerable interface to be populated in a DataList or DataGrid.

You can use Generics, IDictionary, IList, HashTables, IList<t>, the list is endless..

If you create a hierarchy of Objects that implements a common interface e.g. IMyObject and this interface defines the property Value as String, Key as String, etc., all objects that implement this interface can by returned in a List<imyobject>, and then populate this list in your DataList UI control.
