DataGrid Stuff

[Bob Sneidar]

Simple. You never created columns named State and Code. A default data grid has no columns yet. In the properties dialog of the DataGrid object, popup the menu and select the 3rd option down, called columns. Add 2 columns, name the first one State, and the second one Code. 

Note, that if you left firstLineContainsColumnNames set to false, (the default behavior) then you could have named your columns anything you wanted, and excluded the column names from the first line of your data, it would have worked too.
