  you set the column header like this: `new Column { Header = "abc" ...`, so if you can get the value you want in the view, you'll be able to use in the header, so what you need to find out is how to get the Name property of display attribute in C#. maybe this will help: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/5015830/get-the-value-of-displayname-attribute perhaps you can create a `Column` extension method that will set both `Bind` and `Header`
