Accepted answer
Create a List of type employee in your bll
List empList=new List();
for(int i=0;i{
Employee emp=new Employee();
// set fields of emp like id, name
empList.Add(emp);
}
in your form set grd.DataSource=empList; // empList returned by your BLL function.
If you need to hide some properties then implement this Interface in your Employee class:
System.ComponentModel.INotifyPropertyChanged
and set this attribute on the property eg:
[Browsable(false)]
        public int MiscPurchaseInvoiceID
        {
            get { return m_MiscPurchaseInvoiceID; }
            set
            {
                m_MiscPurchaseInvoiceID = value;
                OnPropertyChanged("MiscPurchaseInvoiceID");
            }
        }

Products p=new Products();

P.Query.Load();

GridView1.DataSource=p.DefaultView();
