DataGrids, Repeaters, etc., do not have to be used with database connections, they can be bound with other collections. Take this example:

<%@ Page Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true"  CodeFile="Default.aspx.cs" Inherits="_Default" %>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head runat="server">
    <title></title>
</head>
<body>
    <form id="form1" runat="server">
    <div>
        <asp:DataGrid ID="myDatagrid" AutoGenerateColumns="true" runat="server">
        </asp:DataGrid>
    </div>
    </form>
</body>
</html>

And the code behind

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        List<string> myStrings = new List<string>() { "A", "B", "C" };
        myDatagrid.DataSource = myStrings;
        myDatagrid.DataBind();
    }

The result here is a simple grid with these results

Item 
A 
B 
C

I hope that's the answer you're looking for? Alternately, DataGrids do not have to bound to anything at all, in which case they'll not even appear when you load the page.

The above post is correct. I want to add when you use arraylist of objects, the public properties of the objects in that arraylist are similar to columns of your SQL queried data.
