Problem with DataGrid and an array

Hi,

I'm binding an array to a DataGrid. I only want some of the array's data to
show up. So I used DataGridTableStyle and DataGridColumnStyle. But whatever
I tried, my DataGrid shows all of the array's data, and non of my custom
settings seems to be working at all. Are DataGridTableStyle and
DataGridColumnStyle only for DataTable?

My code looks somewhat like:
DataGridTableStyle ts1 = new DataGridTableStyle();
ts1.MappingName = null;
ts1.AlternatingBackColor = Color.LightGray;

// Column 1
DataGridColumnStyle col1 = new DataGridTextBoxColumn();
col1.MappingName = "Name";
col1.HeaderText = "Name header";
col1.Width = 200;
ts1.GridColumnStyles.Add(col1);

// Column 2
DataGridColumnStyle col2 = new DataGridTextBoxColumn();
col2.MappingName = "tel";
col2.HeaderText = "Tel header";
col2.Width = 500;
ts1.GridColumnStyles.Add(col2);

this.DocumentsGrid.TableStyles.Clear(); // probably not needed
this.DocumentsGrid.TableStyles.Add(ts1);

MyClass[] myArray = BusinessClass.GetItems();
this.myDataGrid.SetDataBinding(myArray, null);

Thanks.

According to MSDN you should set
ts1.MappingName = "MyClass[]"
