Populate GridView with DataSet

I was using a DataView to bind records from a DB table to a DataGrid
using the following code:
Dim sqlDapter As SqlDataAdapter
Dim dSet As DataSet
Dim dView As DataView
sqlDapter = New SqlDataAdapter(strSQL, sqlConn)
dSet = New DataSet()
dView = New DataView
sqlDapter.Fill(dSet, "Users")
dView = dSet.Tables("Users").DefaultView
dgUsers.DataSource = dView
dgUsers.DataBind()
The above works fine but I did like to bind the DataGrid to a GridView
instead of a DataView as the above code shows. What I did is deleted
the DataView from the above code & added a GridView i.e. all the
instances of the DataView were replaced with GridView i.e. changed the
variable name 'dView' to 'gView' but I get this error:
Value of type 'System.Data.DataView' cannot be converted to
'System.Web.UI.WebControls.GridView'
pointing to this line
gView = dSet.Tables("Users").DefaultView
How do I populate the GridView with the DataSet?Your DataSet and DataView variables stay the same. You will simply set
the DataSource of the GridView to your existing dView variable.
Using what you started with...

> sqlDapter.Fill(dSet, "Users")
> dView = dSet.Tables("Users").DefaultView

> dgUsers.DataSource = dView
> dgUsers.DataBind()
Assuming the GridView is named gvUsers, make the last two lines...
gvUsers.DataSource = dView
gvUsers.DataBind()
The DataGrid and GridView both take a DataView as the DataSource.

pointing to this line

gView = dSet.Tables("Users").DefaultView

How do I populate the GridView with the DataSet?

Populating ddl using hashtables

I have a hash table declared in a class. how do i bind it to a
dropdownlist in a webform?The same way you bind any other source to a dropdownlist. Use "Key" and
"Value" as your dataTest/ValueField

ddl.DataSource = urHashtable;
ddl.DataTextField = "Value";
ddl.DataValueField = "Key";
ddl.DataBind();
