In SQL we can write a query like select * from table_name here we dont specify any column names in mycase depending upon user the number of column should vary so that i expect without specifying column name and select all columns from the xml file. Or Specifying the column dynamically that is add all column names to a string variable and execute this string query by LINQ

But before you said you want to remove some columns which you dont need In Select * query every column will come so without column name you cannot do that

Only way I can suggest is Hide the Column in teh GridView you dont want

I think this shud solve ur issue
