You don't need to create a DataSet, in order to bind a list of objects to a DataGridView.  Your objects just need to have public properties which you can specify in the column's DataPropertyName.

Does that work, or is that what you were using that has problems?  Did you define columns for the DataGridView, and set the DataSource property to 'dsTable'?
