If you are doing WinForm, the important part is setting the DataPropertyName property to match the DataTable Column name. You can do it in the designer or code as follows:

Me.AccountDataGridView.Columns("Account").DataPropertyName = "Account"

Of course, having set this:

Me.AccountDataGridView.AutoGenerateColumns = False
