ASP:DataGrid and how to bind to a BoundColumn

I will be required to start working with ASP:DataGrid controls.(Not GridView). I want to create a very basic DataGrid with one or two columns of Data using data bound columns. Below I have create a basic ASP:DataGrid. I bind the data source to my Grid using
some simple data set data I created in C#. It works great however I am gettng the same column duplicated twice? How can change
the code so that the data source is one column which maps to by bound data column below in my asp markup. DataField ="Name"?

<asp:Content runat="server" ID="FeaturedContent" ContentPlaceHolderID="FeaturedContent">
<ASP:DataGrid id="MyDataGrid" runat="server" Width="700px" EnableViewState="False">
<Columns>
<asp:BoundColumn DataField="Name" ReadOnly="True" HeaderText="Name">
<HeaderStyle Font-Bold="True" HorizontalAlign="Center"></ItemStyle>
</asp:BoundColumn>
</Columns>
</asp:DataGrid>
</asp:Content>

---------------------------
namespace WebApplication1
{
public partial class _Default : Page
{
DataSet ds = new DataSet();
DataTable dt = new DataTable();
dt.Columns.Add("Name", Type.GetType("System.String"));
dt.Rows.Add(new object[] {"James Bawn"});
ds.Tables.Add(dt);
MyDataGrid.DataSource=dt;
MyDataGrid.DataBind();

Try this

<asp:Content runat="server" ID="FeaturedContent" ContentPlaceHolderID="FeaturedContent">
 <asp :GridView ID="GridViewPawan" runat="server" AutoGenerateColumns="false">
  <columns>
   <asp :BoundField HeaderText="Name" DataField="Name" />   
 </columns>
 </asp:GridView>
</asp:Content>

DataTable dt = new DataTable();
dt.Columns.Add("Name", typeof(string));
dt.Rows.Add("James Bawn");
GridViewPawan.DataSource=dt;
