Ok Kevin, that was easy once I read the Dev Guide topic where is says “To specify that only the columns you have specified are displayed at run time, you must set the DataGridView's AutoGenerateColumns property to false. Unfortunately, this property is not visible in the property sheet! You have to add code to your form's constructor to set this property to false.”


With that now working, can you help me in understanding these two things about mm controls:

1. I’m curious why the field names from the BO table do not appear when assigned the DataPropertyName of the column designer. That means you've got to know the column name and type it in, rather that picking it from a dropdown.

2. Why does AutoGenerateColumns property appears in intellisense, but not the property window. Are there other places in the mm controls that this happens?
