Hi

I already bind a DataGridView to a databse. My DataGridView is showing column names as it is in the table. I want to show user-friendly column names in the grid instead of column names in the database table. Please help me in this reagard. Thanx in advance

In design mode, click the smart menu link and choose properties. In the window that pops up, you can edit each of the column's header, binding, data, whatever you like.

You can also develop an Item Template that is used to configure how your DataGridView is displayed. To create one of these you will need to create a class that implements the ITemplate Interface.
