Hide or omit some properties in binding of a collection

[hex74]

Hello

My problem is similar to the one described in this article, but I'm trying to use a different grid (DevExpress.xtr aGrid) and therefore the answer (if it even works) does not apply for me:

Briefly, I'm binding the grid to the collection of custom objects - cMessage - to grid's datasource, but I don't want all the propertieties of the cMessage to be shown in the grid. Is there any way to hide some properties from the binding, while leaving them acessible from outside (ie.leave them as public or friend)?

Someone in another forum answered this for me:
