Joby,

I think I have a solution that is at least a little more elegant than your current...

Given your interfaces described above, I changed the TowerList to use Generics:

public class TowerList<T> : BindingList<T> where T: ITower
{
}


Then I created a Tower class which implements ITower. Because the Interface is simply a contract, the Tower class must implement each member. For the sake of testing, I just dumped in random values into the properties so something would show up on the grid:
public class Tower : ITower
    {
        #region ITower Members

        	private double _height;
        	public double Height { get { return _height; } }

        #endregion

        #region IModule Members

        	private string _partNumber;
        	private string _partDescription;
        	public string PartNumber { get { return _partNumber; } }
	        public string PartDescription { get { return this.Name + " for part #" + _partNumber; } } 
        
        #endregion

        public String Name { get; set; }

        public Tower()
        {
            Random rnd = new Random();
            _height = rnd.NextDouble() * rnd.Next(400, 500);
            _partNumber = "X" + rnd.Next().ToString() + rnd.Next().ToString();
        }


Then in a form_load event I created a TowerList object like such:

TowerList<Tower> myTowers = new TowerList<Tower> {
	new Tower { Name = "TowerX1" },
	new Tower { Name = "TowerY2" }
	};


I then set the .Datasource property of my DataGridView control and, voilà, all the inherited properties displayed correctly!

You could also define a Towers class as public class Towers : TowerList<tower></tower> if you wanted to add special behavior to Towers lists.

Unfortunately, I don't have an answer as to why the datagrid does not bind all the inherited properties when we do the code the way you described above (I was able to replicate the behavior, though...).
