Can Anyone Spot My Error Please Binding A Gridview

Hi All

I am trying to bind a gridview to my sql express database through code but my data is not being displayed, i dont get any errors though?

If i bind it using an sql datasource it works fine so i know my connection string works and there is data in my database

my code is as follows

thanks

 Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load
ReadRecords(GridView1, "Select * from Actions")
End Sub

Public Shared Function GetConnString() As String
Return System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings("actionsConnectionString2").ConnectionString
End Function

Private Sub ReadRecords(ByVal datagrid As GridView, ByVal SQL As String)
Dim ConnString As String = GetConnString()
Dim SqlString As String = SQL
Using conn As New SqlClient.SqlConnection(ConnString)
Using cmd As New SqlClient.SqlCommand(SqlString, conn)
cmd.CommandType = CommandType.Text
conn.Open()
Using reader As SqlClient.SqlDataReader = cmd.ExecuteReader()
datagrid.DataSource = reader
datagrid.DataBind()
End Using
End Using
End Using
End Sub


Connection String

<add name="actionsConnectionString2" connectionString="Data Source=.SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename=&quot;|DataDirectory|actions.mdf&quot;;Integrated Security=True;Connect Timeout=30;User Instance=True"
providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />
