ASP.net C# Populating Gridview columns from list

Question

I am trying to bind a list to specific columns, I can get it to autogenerate columns from the list but I want to specify a column to populate

        GridView1.DataSource = carlist;
        GridView1.DataBind();

Answer 1

We don't know what type carlist contains, but assuming contains car objects that have a ModelName property:

  <asp:GridView  AutoGenerateColumns="False" ID="myGrid" runat="server">

   <asp:BoundField HeaderText="Model Name" DataField="ModelName" />
