Answer 1

You need to remove the header row.

// remove header row
GridView1.OptionsView.ShowColumnHeaders = False;

Knowing the two below will save you some time with further customization.

// remove side indicator
GridView1.OptionsView.ShowIndicator = False;

// remove group header
GridView1.OptionsView.ShowGroupPanel = False;
