Populating WinForms DataGrid

VS.Net 2003 V 7.1.3088
..Net Framework V 1.1.4322 SP1
WinXP SP2

I have a WinForms project that I'm having trouble with. I
have a custom user control ( all code based, no visual )
and another class that is a collection of multiple
instances of the control. In ASP.NET, if I wanted to bind
the data of the collection ( each control having it's own
row in the grid ) it was not a problem. I was also able
to select only the column I wanted displayed by defining
the grid. But I can't figure out how to do this in
WinForms. I am able to populate the DataGrid without a
problem ( I've set the DataSource property to the
collection ), but I can't find out how to hide columns
that I don't want displayed.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!! Thanks!!

You need to look at the DataGridTableStyles class. That is how I always
limit what columns to show/hide. There may be another way....

This is also my question :
The topic of my thread is "Datagrid customization for custom objects".
