how to bind the list to single datagridview column in windows

If your list contains values and not objects you could use this code:

DataGridViewRow newRow;

foreach(var item in yourList)
{
   newRow = new DataGridViewRow(); 
   newRow.Cells[0].Value = item;
   yourDataGridView.Rows.Add(newRow);
}

On the other hand if your list contains (reference type) objects you'll have to change your column to DataGridViewComboBoxColumn, then bind values from your list to comboBox control used by DataGridViewComboBoxColumn and then use code from above.

This is general approach for binding values from list to comboBox:

//binding list to DataGridViewComboBoxColumn
//you have to create List of KeyValuePair object in order to 
//properly bind values from original list to the comboBox
List<keyvaluepair><string,yourobjecttype>> listForBinding = new List<keyvaluepair><string,yourobjecttype>>();
foreach(var item in yourList)
{
   listForBinding.Add(new <string,yourobjecttype>(item.ToString(),item));
}

yourDataGridViewComboBoxColumn.DisplayMember = "Key";
yourDataGridViewComboBoxColumn.ValueMember = "Value";
yourDataGridViewComboBoxColumn.DataSource = listForBinding;
