Why is the DataGridView.AutoGenerateColumns hidden?

Question

A number of developers have asked this question. I reviewed the article at:

https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/sqlserver/en-US/6498b384-93d8-4582-b68f-3915a1de996a/why-is-the-autogeneratecolumns-option-hidden-for-datagridviews?forum=winforms

This does not answer the question at all. I have not found any answers to this.

Why is the DataGridView.AutoGenerateColumns property absent from intellisense and the Property Editor?

• Is there a criteria that AutoGenrerateColumns satisfies that makes it necessary to hide the property?
• If so, what are the criteria?
• Are there problems associated with DataGridView.AutoGenerateColumns?
• Are any updates planned to WinForms controls?

I am using Visual Studio 2017 and Community 2022.
