Can't edit DataGridView content (even when ReadOnly = false) when clicking on it?

Question

The context here is I use a special kind of DataSource for DataGridView, that is an anonymous type which can be created as follow:

var data = new[] { new { A = "A", B = 1 }, new { A = "B", B = 2 }, new { A = "C", B = 3 }};

The problem is if I use the above data source for a DataGridView, I can't edit the content of the DataGridView starting by clicking on its cells.

myDataGridView.DataSource = data;

Could you please explain to me why and how to make it editable? Or simply we can't make it work that way?

Your help would be highly appreciated.

Answer 1

Its because var data is anonymous type. And anonymous type properties are read-only.

Answer 2

I am not 100% sure about this but I think that you can't edit the grid because you are binding an anonymous type. Anonymous types cannot be changed.
