Why DataColumn.Caption doesn't work?

Question

I am trying to create a DataTable and bind it to a DataGridView. It works, but I can\'t set columns headers via the Caption property.

Answer 1

I think when you bind to a DataTable, the DataGridView does not use the Caption property. It only works when you bind to a DataSet.

You can modify the column headers manually like this:

dataGridView.Columns[i].HeaderText = dt.Columns[i].Caption;
