Quick Question - Can I apply an attribute to an object property to change how it appears in the header of the grid e.g. changing OrderId to "Order ID"?

 private int orderId;

[SomeAttributeMethod(FieldName="Order ID")]
public int OrderId
  {
            get { return orderId; }
            set { orderId = value; }
  }

     You can set the Label property of a Field to user-friendly display text, as opposed to the property name.  There is no inherent support in the XamDataGrid for reading metadata off a property to discover the Label, though you can certainly submit that as a feature request via the Developer Support group.  If you are dynamically generating FieldLayouts (and their Fields) you can read that metadata yourself and set each Field's Label.
