Generate Data for Display [C#]

Given the following semi-code:

string[] MachineNames = new String[#ofMachines];

object[,] objectArray = new object[#ofSettings, #ofMachines];

int iSettingIndex = 0;

foreach (Setting in Settings)

{

for (int iMachineIndex = 0; iMachineIndex < #ofMachines; iMachineIndex++)

{

MachineNames[iMachineIndex] = getName(iMachineIndex);

objectArray[iSettingIndex, iMachineIndex] = getValue(iMachineIndex, strPath, strKey);

}

iSettingIndex++;

}

This will generate a 2Dimension Object Array, which would resemble something like:

Index 1 2 3

1 X Y Z

2 X Y Z

3 X Y Z

Where X,Y, and Z are the values for each setting on each Robot

My goal is to take this code and overlay it all in a Datagrid of some kind.

This requires 2 changes:

a) I need to add a Row0 [for the actual Machine names and not just the index] and a Column0 [for the actual Setting name (path+key) and not just the index]

b) I need to somehow set this 2 dimensional Object Array as the datasource for my Datagrid [when I do it directly C# gives me an error stating that: An unhandled exception of type 'System.ArgumentException' occurred in mscorlib.dll Additional information: Array was not a one-dimensional array.]

The end results should look like [in a Datagrid of some kind, without the Index information]:

Index 1 2 3

1 X Robot1 Robot2

2 \\Path1\Key1 X Y

3 \\Path2\Key2 X Y

4 \\Path3\Key3 X Y

I agree, using a Dataset would be ideal [no clue about DataBind, never tried that before], I have often used Datasets when dealing with SQL [to display results in Datagrids] however this is rather different seeing as the results are generated dynamically [and not just a Dataset.fill].

But for example, forget the Foreach loops, if I wanted to generate a dataset to fill my datagrid to look like the following:

Robot1

Key1 X

How could I do that? [given the values are hardcoded].

How do I fill the Dataset by saying, use "Robot1" as Column1, "Key1" as Row1, and "X" as the result?

And then: Datagrid.datasource = Dataset

If I can do that then filling the Dataset dynamically should be simple enough.
