Why isn't Listview displaying values from DataTable?

Question

I have a ListView & a DataTable (with Columns and Rows) that I have set as the Listview's DataSource & binded it, but my ListView will not display the data. ANy help? Thanks very much in advance

In thing.aspx :

 <asp:ListView ID="lvInstructors" runat="server"
    AutoGenerateColumns="False"
    ShowRegularGridWhenEmpty="False"
    EmptyDataText="No Sessions to Display."
    OnRowDataBound="lvDataBound"
    OnRowCommand="lvCommand"
    Visible="true">
        <LayoutTemplate>
            <div class="container" id="mainContent">
                <asp:PlaceHolder ID="itemPlaceHolder" runat="server" />
            </div>
        </LayoutTemplate>
        <ItemTemplate>
            <div class="row instructorItem">
                <div class="col-2 sessionStartTimeDiv">
                    <p class="sessionStartTime"><%=SessionStartTime %></p>
                </div>
                <div class="col-2 instructorHeadshotDiv">
                    <asp:Image class="instructorHeadshot" runat="server" src="" />
                </div>
                <div class="col-5 sessionInfoDiv">
                    <h3 class="instructorName"><%=InstructorName%></h3>
                    <p class="sessionInfo"><%=SessionInfo%></p>
                </div>
                <div class="col-3 checkInBtnDiv">
                    <asp:Button class="checkInBtn" OnClick="CheckInBtn_Click"
                        ID="checkInBtn" runat="server" Text="CHECK-IN" />
                </div>
            </div>
        </ItemTemplate>
        <EmptyDataTemplate>
            <br /><br />No Sessions to Display
        </EmptyDataTemplate>
    </asp:ListView>

In thing.aspx.cs :

       //Make Data table to hold ListViewItem Data 
        DataTable dt = new DataTable();

        dt.Columns.Add("SessionStartTime");
        dt.Columns.Add("InstructorHeadshot");
        dt.Columns.Add("InstructorName");
        dt.Columns.Add("SessionInfo");


        DataRow dr = dt.NewRow();
        dr["SessionStartTime"] = "1:00:";
        //dr["InstructorImage"] = "Bob";
        dr["InstructorName"] = "Bob";
        dr["SessionInfo"] = "Computer Room 2";

        dt.Rows.Add(dr);

        //Bind datatable to lv
        lvInstructors.DataSource = dt;
        lvInstructors.DataBind();

SideQuestion: (Not sure I need one here, but) When should I use a ListViewItem ?

Answer 1

You want to bind - # - and Eval.

<%# Eval("SessionStartTime") %>

Use this format for the other values/columns.
