Question is Not clear!

If your sql query looks like:

SQL

SELECT ID
FROM Table1

only ID will be visible in a gridview, but if you write sql query like this:

SQL

SELECT *
FROM Table1

all fields will be visible in a gridview.

If your query returns many fields (columns), you need to hide column with ID field - as Prasad_Kulkarni wrote.

Looks like you are talking about foreign key in one table and you want FieldName from other table i.e. Customer table is having AccountID field and you want to show AccountName in grid View.

Try :

SQL

Select a.CustomerName, a.CustomerAddress, b.AccountName
from tblCustomer a
inner join
tblAccounts b
on a.AccountID=b.AccountID
