How can I make datagridView to display string instead of length.

Answer 1

create a class, Fruit

class Fruit
{
    public string Name { get; set; }
}

and create a generic list of fruits:

List<Fruit> fruits = new List<Fruit>();
fruits.Add(new Fruit() { Name = "Apple" });

dataGridView1.DataSource = fruits;
