use a DataGridTableStyle, then apply a DataGridColumnStyle to it. You can
change this by manipulating the DataColumn's name, but I'd recommend against
doing that in most cases b/c you'll need to remember to use that Alias
everywhere and chances are you'll forget at some point (or some other
developer will) .

Also, unless you have a really small table and/or actually need every
column, stay away from SELECT * because you'll pull over a lot of data that
you don't need which is cached locally - this can be a real performance
killer. (Doug already mentioned using the aliases instead of SELECT *, I'm
just seconding that opinion)

Thanks
I forget to tell you that I tried to use "Select FName As [FirtName]".
When I did that, in the DataGrid, the column is still "FName" and the value is
"null"
I think that I set wrong DataGrid

I am a bit confused.
If you are using Select * then you are not using alias for field names.
With your example it would be:
"SELECT FName AS [First Name] FROM tablename"
the brackets are needed if you use spaces, keywords or special
characters.

I already used Alias, However, if I do that the DataGrid will not display any data (it shows "null"). I do not know how to set DataGrid to show the Alias (in design form)
