Binding SPList to Binding Controls.

To bind a SPList to a binding control list for example the DetailsView data control you will need to provide a DataSource to it. The problem is SPList doesn’t implment the IDataSource interface, but I have discovered that there is a SPDataSource which allows you to pass a SPList object as a parameter in the constructor. Below is a code

var spList = SPContext.Current.Web.Lists["List Name"];
var ds = new SPDataSource(spList);
DetailsView1.DataSource = ds;
DetailsView1.DataBind();
