Hi,
First you have to set the autogeneratecolumns property to false for the
datagrid. then you can add columns in the aspx file or in the code behind
file.

code for aspx
<Columns>
<asp:BoundColumn DataField="[colname]" HeaderText="nameforthecol">
</asp:BoundColumn>
</columns>
or in code behind like

Dim bcTemp As BoundColumn = new BoundColumn
bcTemp.DataField = "[colname]"
bcTemp.HeaderText = "nameforthecol"
dgFileList.Columns.Add(bcTemp)
