You could just bind the DataGridView to the DataSource with AutoGenerateColumns on something like

dataGridView1.DataSource = [yourDataSource]

Then loop through the columns and set their properties in the loop which would allow you to hide columns you don't want to see, name headers etc.

This is how I do mine

foreach (DataGridViewColumn col in dgvReconciledItems.Columns)
{
    switch (col.Name)
    {
        case "Column1":
            col.HeaderText = "Header1";
            col.AutoSizeMode = DataGridViewAutoSizeColumnMode.Fill;
            col.FillWeight = 30;
            break;
        case "Column2":
            col.HeaderText = "Header2";
            col.AutoSizeMode = DataGridViewAutoSizeColumnMode.Fill;
            col.FillWeight = 10;
            break;

        default:
            col.Visible = false;
            break;
    }
}
