These extenders simplify the work with data-bound in WinForms.

Usage the DataGridView:

var tbl1 = CreateAndLoadDataTable();
...
gridView.GenerateColumns(DataSource, 
    new ColumnDataDescriptor("Header#1", tbl1.Column1),
    new ColumnDataDescriptor("Header#2", tbl1.Column2),
    new ColumnDataDescriptor("Header#3", tbl1.Column3, FillWeight: 100));
gridView.PrepareStyleForEditingData();
gridView.AddDataRowStateDrawingInRowHeaders();

Usage the FlowLayoutPanel:

layoutPanel.GenerateGroups(DataSource, 
    new GroupDataDescriptor("GroupName#1",
      new FieldDataDescriptor("Header#1", tbl1.Column1),
      new FieldDataDescriptor("Header#2", tbl1.Column2)),
    new GroupDataDescriptor("GroupName#2",
      new FieldDataDescriptor("Header#3", tbl1.Column3)));

Usage the TableLayoutPanel:

layoutPanel.GenerateFields(DataSource, 
    new GroupDataDescriptor("GroupName",
      new FieldDataDescriptor("Header#1", tbl1.Column1),
      new FieldDataDescriptor("Header#2", tbl1.Column2)));
