What are you binding to the DataGrid, a DataTable or a DataView? You want to set the MappingName to the name of the DataTable EVEN if you are binding to a DataView object. The text you place in the MappingName should only be the name of the table like "MyDataTable". If the MappingName field is incorrect, then you will get all the fields to display in the grid instead of only the ones you want.
