DataList is a control which should be used to display a repeatable list of data which implements either IListSource or IEnumerable interfaces.If you want t bind a single value just use a label instead.But anyway, if you really want to force binding a single value to the DataList here's an example:

.ASPX:

<asp:Button ID="Button1" runat="server" Text="Button" OnClick="Button1_Click" />
<asp:DataList ID="DataList1" runat="server">
    <ItemTemplate>
        <asp:Label Text='<%# Eval("Value") %>' runat="server" />
    </ItemTemplate>
</asp:DataList>

Code behind:

protected void Button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
   DataList1.DataSource = new List<object> { new { Value = "Test" } };
   DataList1.DataBind();
}
