(Inner/parent object unbound)Dynamically change the type of a databound winforms gridview column(view only)

Hello All,
Greetings for the day..!

I have a gridview(winform) bound to "obect data source(nhibernate object)" with "Aut-generate cols" true, which I use only to display & filter the data.

Now the inner object(or master object's is not displayed). I know pretty well that all the objects needed to be flattened for that(remember its so tedious, when I need all the parent data also).

But I want to know whether it can be done by just changing the type of the particular column or the cell by looping the grid in its biding event, so that I can use LINQ and fill the cell/column(value) dynamically with the data from the necessary inner/parent object's column.

When I try to do the above the casting error "cannot convert from model.masters.person to string".(Lets assume that I'm trying to retrieve the persons(parent object) name in employee object(child).

Please reply ASAP with appropriate solution.

Thanks in advance:-)
