Answer 1

I think the DataGridView has an AutoGenerateColumns property, doesn't it?

dataGridView1.AutoGenerateColumns = True;

From the MSDN docs:

public bool AutoGenerateColumns { set; get; } Member of System.Windows.Forms.DataGridView

Summary: Gets or sets a value indicating whether columns are created automatically when the System.Windows.Forms.DataGridView.DataSource or System.Windows.Forms.DataGridView.DataMember properties are set.

Returns: true if the columns should be created automatically; otherwise, false. The default is true.

The property isn't on the Properties window though, you have to set it via code as in my example.
