Datagridview - remove part before the first column

Question

I was wondering if when using the datagridview control you can remove the thing that looks like a column before the 1st column. I think its used to select rows but not sure what its called.

Answer 1

Here is a solution for standard windows controls in C#.

To hide the row headers you can use the property RowHeadersVisible and set it to false.

To make the row headers smaller you can use the property RowHeadersWidth.
