GridView2.Columns.Add(userNameBF);        

GridView2.DataBind();

Answer 1

Try this GridView2.AutoGenerateColumns = false;. Read more on MSDN.

This way you tell GridView not to generate columns on its own.

Another solution can be, change your query to

SELECT  [userName] FROM [movieCommentTable] WHERE...

And comment out your custom code for BoundField.

Hope this works for you
