Named columns in DataGridView in .NET?

[SoftwareEng]

Hi Guys,

Is there a way to have named columns in the DataGridView control in .NET 2.0? So instead of saying,

grdMyGrid.Cells("AccountNumber") and grdMyGrid.Cells("Year"),

I'd say:

grdMyGrid.AccountNumber and grdMyGrid.Year

so it would resolve at design time and avoid run-time errors? So I'm looking to set up a property to match the name of my coilumn.

Big thanks.

what's up, no grid experts out there?

My friend (who knows .NET better than me) said you'd need to use reflection and create a collection which redefines the columns in the datagrid. He doesn't think it's worth the effort though.

thanks for finding out. Too bad there's no built-in support for this...
