When you bind list<> to datagrid - how to cahnge column names ?

Question

I have a code:

VideoChannel[] channels = GetVideoChannels();

dataGridView1.DataSource = channels;
dataGridView1.Refresh();

VideoChannel is a class with many properties. This code works OK, but I want to change column names. By default, column name = property name of VideoChannel. Is there some attribute that I can mark a property of VideoChannel so column name != property name ?

Answer 1

Will this help you

dataGridView1.TableStyles[0].GridColumnStyles[0].HeaderText = "SomeDifferentColumnName"

or

dataGridView1.Columns[0].HeaderText = "SomeDifferentColumnName"

Answer 2

You can change column name in design mode where you create column and set it's properties. Or you can try

DataGridName.Colimns[0].HeaderText = "Your Header0";
DataGridName.Colimns[1].HeaderText = "Your Header1";
.
.
.
DataGridName.Colimns[N].HeaderText = "Your HeaderN";

But the better way is to do this in design mode.
