I am trying to bind a datagrid (windows forms environment, VS2003) to a custom collection(not an arraylist) - it works, and I am really happy about it, but when I bind the collection the grid shows all of the additional columns that i don't want displayed.
Now I've read loads of articles about binding database tables (Datasets) to the grid and using the TableStyles collection, however all of these notes are(like i said previously) based on dataset binding.
I have tried creating my own table style based on the name of my collection but it still seems to show all of the data.
I even tried some code from a Frans Bouma's Blog(http://weblogs.asp.net/fbouma/articles/115837.aspx), attempting to create an attribute that would allow me to 'hide' aspects of the object from databinding... that didn't work either....
Anyone got any sample code or ideas of how i can achieve this
Cheers

Binding to custom collection - select columns to display

On the collection I am implementing :
CollectionBase , ICloneable , IBindingList
On the object (that is in the collection) i am implementing
ICloneable , IEditableObject
Going to try googling for Browseable=false, and see what that gives me - thanks for the starting point.

Thanks for that!

I'm not sure what interfaces you've implemented on your custom collection, but assuming you're not implementing ITypedList, you can do the following to hide a property (this shows how to hide the ID property):
private string _id = string.Empty;
[Browsable(false)]
public string ID
{
get { return _id; }
set { _id = value; }
}
