    public string CustomerName { get; set; }
    public string Email { get; set; }

private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    //Init data
    customersBindingSource.Add(new Customers() { CustomerID = "1", CustomerName = "Maria Anders", Email = "[email protected]", Address = "Obere Str. 57" });
    customersBindingSource.Add(new Customers() { CustomerID = "2", CustomerName = "Ana Trujillo", Email = "[email protected]", Address = "Avada. de la Cons" });
    customersBindingSource.Add(new Customers() { CustomerID = "3", CustomerName = "Thomas Hardy", Email = "[email protected]", Address = "120 Hanover Sq." });
    customersBindingSource.Add(new Customers() { CustomerID = "4", CustomerName = "Elizabeth Liconln", Email = "[email protected]", Address = "23 Tsawassen" });
