>When I set autogeneratecolumns to false, my grid does not populate. When I set it to true, the grid populates with data but the table headings from SQL Server are created along side the custom columns I created. There must be a step I'm missing. Here's the code:

What is in the custom columns when you set it to true? I would guess they are empty. The problem would most likely seem to be around the data field you set for the custom columns. They need to match the column names you are binding to.
