help: customize CF2.0 DataGrid when bind with BindingList<Business Object>?

[Chen Naikun]

hi,

I have difficulty on how to customize CF2.0 DataGrid bind with
BindingList<Business Object>.

I have a customer type :
internal class Customer
{
private Guid _id;
private int _name;

public Guid ID
{
get{return _id;}
set { _id = value; }
}

public string Name
{
get{return _name;}
set{_name=value;}
}
}

in windows form, i don't want display the property id to user, i have tried
this:
public partial class datagridtest : Form
{
private System.ComponentModel.BindingList<Customer> _list = new
BindingList<testClass>();

public datagridtest()
{
InitializeComponent();
dataGrid1.DataSource = _list;

//dataGrid1.TableStyles.Clear();

DataGridTableStyle tableStyle1 = new DataGridTableStyle();

DataGridColumnStyle columnStyle = new DataGridTextBoxColumn();
columnStyle.HeaderText = "Name";
columnStyle.MappingName = "Name";
tableStyle1.GridColumnStyles.Add(columnStyle);

dataGrid1.TableStyles.Add(tableStyle1);

}

private void datagridtest_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{

for(int i = 0 ; i < 10; i++)
{
Customer c = new Customer();
c.ID = System.Guid.NewGuid();
c.Name= "Naikun";

_list.Add(test);
}
}
}

but when form showed, the grid have two columns, one is ID,the other one is
Name!

any help is apprecied

I have resoled this problem : the MappingName should be "BindingList`1"!

the InitializeComponent() code like this:

//
// dataGrid1
//
this.dataGrid1.BackgroundColor =
System.Drawing.Color.FromArgb(((int)(((byte)(128)))),
((int)(((byte)(128)))), ((int)(((byte)(128)))));
this.dataGrid1.Location = new System.Drawing.Point(17, 16);
this.dataGrid1.Name = "dataGrid1";
this.dataGrid1.Size = new System.Drawing.Size(258, 200);
this.dataGrid1.TabIndex = 0;
this.dataGrid1.TableStyles.Add(this.dataGridTableStyle1);
//
// dataGridTableStyle1
//
this.dataGridTableStyle1.GridColumnStyles.Add(this.dataGridTextBoxColumn1);
this.dataGridTableStyle1.GridColumnStyles.Add(this.dataGridTextBoxColumn2);
this.dataGridTableStyle1.MappingName = "BindingList`1";
//
// dataGridTextBoxColumn1
//
this.dataGridTextBoxColumn1.Format = "";
this.dataGridTextBoxColumn1.FormatInfo = null;
this.dataGridTextBoxColumn1.HeaderText = "Code";
this.dataGridTextBoxColumn1.MappingName = "Code";
//
// dataGridTextBoxColumn2
//
this.dataGridTextBoxColumn2.Format = "";
this.dataGridTextBoxColumn2.FormatInfo = null;
this.dataGridTextBoxColumn2.HeaderText = "Name";
this.dataGridTextBoxColumn2.MappingName = "Name";


public partial class datagridtest : Form
{
private System.ComponentModel.BindingList<Customer> _list = new
BindingList<Customer>();

public datagridtest()
{
InitializeComponent();

}

private void datagridtest_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
for(int i = 0 ; i < 10; i++)
{
Customer c = new Customer();
c.ID = System.Guid.NewGuid();
c.Name= "Naikun";
c.Code="C01";

_list.Add(c);
}

dataGrid1.DataSource = _list;
}
}
