DataGridView - I need a simple example that works with List<?>

Hello,

I'm hoping someone can help me out here.

I want to get started using DataGridView, but I've not actually managed to find any examples that fit what I'm trying to do.

What I want to do is very simple:

(1) I have a list of class instances thus:

List<MyClass> classList = new List<MyClass>();

classList.Add(new MyClass("Fred"));
classList.Add(new MyClass("Wilma"));

(2) I want eachMyClassmember ofclassListto be represented as a row in my DataGridView

(3) I want to show only a subset of the class parameters, for example:

public class MyClass
{
private string name;
private int anumber;

// Want to show this in the interface
public String Name
{
get { return (name); }
set { name = value; }
}

// I DON'T want to show this in the interface
public int Number
{
get { return (anumber); }
set { anumber= value; }
}
}


I think that sums it up. No SQL, nothing just a nice list of data that I want to display.

Can anyone help? Many thanks. I've attempted to find what I want from the FAQ, but I'm finding it hard to see the wood for the trees.. If I had a small example, I think I'd be better placed to understand what I need.

Many thanks!
