Dear moondaddy,
As I understand, you have a list of business objects, when performing data
binding, you want some of the properties in the custom class not be
displayed in the list control.
You can use the Browsable attribute, setting it to false would make the
property hidden when performing data binding. e.g.
============== Code Sample ===============
class Customer
{
private int id;
private string name;
private string coutry;
public Customer(int id, string name, string coutry)
{
this.id = id;
this.name = name;
this.coutry = coutry;
}
public int ID
{
get { return id; }
set { this.id = value; }
}
[Browsable(false)]
public string Name
{
get { return name; }
set { this.name = value; }
}
public string Country
{
get { return coutry; }
set { this.coutry = value; }
}
}
private void Form2_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
List<Customer> arr = new List<Customer>();
arr.Add(new Customer(1, "Zhang", "China"));
arr.Add(new Customer(2, "John", "US"));
arr.Add(new Customer(3, "Ricky", "UK"));
arr.Add(new Customer(4, "Hkjer", "UK"));
arr.Add(new Customer(5, "Rbtrw", "DE"));
arr.Add(new Customer(6, "Ricky", "AU"));
arr.Add(new Customer(7, "Griao", "FR"));
this.dataGridView1.DataSource = arr;
}
=============================================
When running the code, you'll find the "Name" property is not displayed in
the DataGridView.
Should you have any questions, please feel free to let me know.
Sincerely,
Zhi-Xin Ye
