DataGridView bound to List<T>

[Nathan]

Hi,

I am trying to bind a DataGridView to a generic List<T>. I've set up the
columns in the designer, then used this code:

dgv.DataSource = MyList;
dgv.Columns[0].DataPropertyName = "Property1"
dgv.Columns[1].DataPropertyName = "Property2"
dgv.Columns[2].DataPropertyName = "Property3"

Where "Property1", etc are public properties of object T.

When I run the form, the datagrid view shows all the values twice. First,
it displays all the columns I set up at design time (with the correct values
for each row), then it creates new columns for each of object T's public
properties.

What is it I'm not doing right?

Do you have AutoGenerateColumns turned on?

Aaah, thanks. Turned AutoGenerateColumns off; now it works. New it had to
be something simple.
