First, the DataGrid dataProvider itself must be some kind of list. It can be an ArrayCollection, an XMLListCollection, an Array or XMLList(avoid these if you plan to programmatically update the dataProvider)
There are two ways to get an HTTPService result into a dataProvider. One is to bind to lastResult.avoid this. Instead, use a resultHandler to assign the appropriate list type to a variable, and bind to that. If you dataProvider is valid, you might have just forgotten to specify the dataField for the columns. If you are setting that property, then you need to know that dataField can only handle a string, not an expression, and the property specified must be a top-level property of the dataProvider item. If the dataProvider items are XML nodes, the datafield must specify a first-level childNode(data in the text node of that node) or an attribute. If it is an attribute then you need to use the @ symbol. Example: dataField="@myAttribute". Hope this helps.
