How do you select what properties will be displayed when databinding to a DataGridView?

Binding a List collection to a datagrid. How can you limit what properties will be displayed?

DataGridViewAirport.DataSource = GlobalDisplayAirports

From stackoverflow

• Turn off AutoGenerateColumns, and then you can explicitly create the columns you need. For example here's an example:

  <asp:GridView ID="myGrid" runat="server" AutoGenerateColumns="False" CellSpacing="0">
      <Columns>
       <asp:BoundField DataField="Total" HeaderText="Amount" DataFormatString="{0:C}"/>
  
      </Columns>
  

  Another option would to be hide the columns after you data bind, but this above is a better approach.

  : Thanks Josh, sorry should have been more specific, I am using Windows Forms.

  JoshBerke : Ok solution is still the same, just my sample is off.

• Depending on your dataSource you could mark the properties you don't want to show then you can leave autogenerate columns on.

  I believe this is correct VB:

  <System.ComponentModel.Browsable(false)> _
  

  in C# it is

  [System.ComponentModel.Browsable(false)]
  

  Another Useful attribute is

  [DisplayName("Total Amount")]
