// I built my datatable first, and populated it, columns, rows and all. //Then, once the datatable is functional, do the following to bind it to the DGV. NOTE: the DGV's AutoGenerateColumns property must be 'true' for this example, or the "assigning" of column names from datatable to dgv will not work. I also "added" my datatable to a dataset previously, but I don't think that is necessary.
