DataGridView doesn't seem to honor the DataColumn.Caption Property

The DataGridView doesn't show the datacolumn caption it seems to only show
the name.
Has anybody else seen this problem?
 
The Caption property belongs to a DataColumn. This property is supposed to
be honored by UI objects such as the DataGrid and I was guessing the
DataGridView.

Oldman,

I tried doing the caption setting as below, and you are right. The
DataGridView appears to ignore the settings.

public Form1()
{
InitializeComponent();
this.simpleLogDataSet.Log.Columns[1].Caption = "Call";

}

private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
this.simpleLogDataSet.Log.Columns[1].Caption = "Call";
this.logTableAdapter.Fill(this.simpleLogDataSet.Log);
}

Interseting. I even tried setting the HeaderText property of the
coumn in the DataGridView to an empty string and that didn't work
either. I guess the HeaderText property is the only way.

That is what I was afraid of. That's ok. I'm just going to set the header
text to the caption property of the datacolumn manually.
Wonder if I should report this as a bug.
