i would assume since the original data grid can be effected data annotations that the IG should handle them as well

could someone explain if this should work.  i am using a standard 'Display' annotation

ex of object

 <Display(Name:="aitname", Order:=1, ShortName:="AITShortName")> _
        Public Property AIT_Number As String
 
        <Display(Order:=2)> _
        Public Property Application_Name As String
 
        <Display(AutoGenerateField:=False)> _
        Public Property ID As Integer
 
        <Display(Order:=4)> _
        Public Property Last_Run As String
 
        <Display(Order:=5)> _
        Public Property Next_Run As String
 
        <Display(Order:=3)> _
        Public Property Ten_Dot As String

so as far as i can tell 'Name', 'ShortName, and Order are ignored.  the only thing that worked was setting 'AutoGenerateField' to false
