how to bind members of one object to datagrid

Here is my problem. I have a class game, and i would like to bind some of the members to the datagrid, not entire object. What is better way to do it? Create another object to hold infomation, or create a datatable?

    public class Game
    {
        public string Name {get;set; }
        public string Description {get;set;}
        public string FullPath {get;set;}

    }

    List<Game> Games = new Games { game1, game2, game3 };

dataGrid1.ItemsSource = Game;  // I don't want to do this it will bind entire object.

You can still bind the whole object, turn off automatic generation of columns and create and bind columns manually.

Why don't you create another class that inherits the game class. Game2 for example. Then create the constructor to only set what you want/need from game one. Using linq you can filter this out.

var newData = from item in game
              select new game 2
              {
                  object1 = item.object1,
                  object2 = item.object2
              };

Then you can set newData as the datasource. Forgive me for any syntax errors. If you look up linq this is a pretty easy concept. You don't need to even inherit the game class. You can create a independent class called game 2 with the info you need.
