How do I choose which properties to display when data binding to the DataGridView?
Disable AutoGenerateColumns and then you can explicitly create the columns you want. For example an example:
<asp:GridView ID="myGrid" runat="server" AutoGenerateColumns="False" CellSpacing="0">
<Columns>
<asp:BoundField DataField="Total" HeaderText="Amount" DataFormatString="{0:C}"/>
</Columns>
Another option is to hide columns after data binding, but this above is the best approach.

Depending on your data source, you can mark the properties that you do not want to show, then you can leave the autogenerate columns.
I believe this is correct. VB:
<System.ComponentModel.Browsable(false)> _
in C # it is
[System.ComponentModel.Browsable(false)]
Another useful attribute is
[DisplayName("Total Amount")]

We have set a motive for all of our classes to create a TailorDGV method, which we pass a datagrid reference to the method that it then returns.
This method then iterates over and hides all columns. It then turns on the required columns and either sets a fixed width or sets up an automatic system to fill the grid with the columns that are visible.
With dgvControl
For i As Integer = 0 To .ColumnCount - 1
.Columns(i).Visible = False
Next
End With
You can also set the position of the column in the grid using the DisplayIndex property of the grid column object. This property is null based.
