asp.net c# send ArrayList to gridview not displaying items

Question

I have 3 dropdownlist: select year, select make, select model. Upon select model the results should appear in a gridview. My tables are: Makes with [(pk)MakeID, MakeName]; Models with [(pk)ModelID, Make_ID, ModelYear, ModelName]; and Wipers with [(pk)WiperID, Model_ID, Description, Emplacement, Price]. When I step through debug, I see 6 counts of records found, but I do not see it in gridview

I've looked at these for help, but no answers

                    string emplacement = reader.GetString(4);
                    decimal price = reader.GetDecimal(5);
                    Wipers wipers = new Wipers(wiperID, model_id, description, itemNo, emplacement, price);
                   listResults.Add(wipers);

            }
            finally
            {
                conn.Close();
            }
        return listResults;

    }

I think this because the updatePanel control try to add trigger between UpdatePanel control and DropDownList Control
