Bind winforms datagridview rowheader

Question

In C# Winforms DataGridView I am binding a List of class using the datagriview's datasource property. Is there a way to bind one of the class property to the datagriview's rowheader ?

I didn't want to iterate all the rows and add row header values one by one because I will have thousands of records so I wanted the rowheader to get the values from the binded class when I set the datasource.

For example I have this class and I want the rowheaders to show the Customer ID.

private class Customer
{
   public string CustomerID { get; set; }
   public string CustomerFirstName { get; set; }
}

I'm afraid you have to implement datagridview's OnPaint -Method, where you paint the customer id in a loop. Once, I wanted to numerate my entries and I didn't find any other solution.
