filling a column with property value of object

[Aresto1964]

I have two classes like this public myclass1 { public int Id {set;get;) public myclass2 MyClass2{set;get;) } public myclass2 { public int Id {set;get;} public string Name {set;get;} } public list mylist = new List() ; my list has been bonded to datagridview . when displying the collection in the grid , the myclass1 is displaying the object name "DomaninName.myclass2" how to display the propery "Name" of myclass2

you can overwrite the ToString function

First, fix the compilation errors in your code: use of ')" where it should be '}', missing class keyword on class definitions, missing uppercase on List, that sort of thing. So us code that works to demonstrate your problem - not a lump of crap your threw together and didn't check at all ... You can display what you want as the cell content, just override ToStrign in your class:

    public class myclass2
        {
        public int Id { set; get; }
        public string Name { set; get; }
        public override string ToString()
            {
            return $"{Id}:{Name}";
            }
        }

You can also set the column header text to something more human readable than the property name - just set the HeaderText property of the column:

        myDataGridView.DataSource = mylist;
        myDataGridView.Columns\[1\].HeaderText = "My other class";
