linq-to-entities

I just started playing with Linq to entities in a windows forms application and am not understanding one behavior that looks so simple though.

If i type code below, i get ReadOnly records in my dataGridView Dim x = From n in Table1 _ Select n.FirstName, n.LastName, N.Department DataGridView1.DataSource = x

But if i type the following code, i get editable rows in my dataGridView

Dim x = From n in Table1 _ Select n DataGridView1.DataSource = x

So, basically if i specify the column names to select and databind to my DataGridView1, the rows are readonly but if i do not specify the column names and databind to the DataGridView, the rows are editable and i don't understand why.
