I've changed some property names to friendly names using custom code option in Business Object Mapper.

(Plus override GetCustomBindablePropertyDescriptors for these fields)

I've noticed that when this object was bind to a Devexpress Grid with business binding source, these properties were not seen in Devexpress Grid.

I've tested for Devexpress (Wrapped) Textbox. These fields were listed in the BindingField list of the textbox.

What is missing ?

We have added a new feature to 1.6.5 that will allow you to rename the fields generated by the BOMapper... the underlying field in the database will remain the same, but the property that exists on the business object will be renamed.  We will be releasing it shortly.

Actually this won't be included in the 1.6.5 release.  It will, however, be in the maintenance release immediately after the 1.6.5 (i.e. 1.6.5.1 build).  There are several things that we wanted to get in the 1.6.5 build that are not going to make it due to time contraints and testing.  This one change will require a bit of testing and is something that we didn't want to change this close to the final release.  But it will be coming.
