You need set properties for RowHeaderVisible (from gridview properties) to be false

Answer 3

Just put this piece of code. Worked for me.

DataGrid.RowHeadersVisible = false;
DataGrid.ColumnHeadersVisible = false;

Answer 4

You have two approaches to do this:

1. Adding this line:

   dataGridView1.RowHeadersVisible = false;
   

   to...

   private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
   {
       dataGridView1.RowHeadersVisible = false;
   }

If you are trying to delete grid view column in column level and its not being reflected in grid view please follow as below: We can't delete the column of grid view in column level. So, delete the column's cell in row level (means in each and every row).

foreach (GridViewRow Row in this.searchResults.SearchResultGrid.Rows)
                    {
                        if (Row.RowType == DataControlRowType.DataRow)
                        {
                            Row.Cells[0].Visible = false;
                        }
                    }
                    GridViewRow HeaderRow = this.searchResults.SearchResultGrid.HeaderRow;
                    HeaderRow.Cells[0].Visible = false;

Just set the Background-Color and the RowHeadersVisible-State of your DataGridView:

dataGridView1.BackgroundColor = Color.White;
dataGridView1.RowHeadersVisible = false;
