Given the following List(of Position) objects for an ObjectDataSource

    Position
        Description
        EmployeeA
            FirstName
            LastName
        EmployeeB
            FirstName
            LastName

Is it possible to bind a GridView column to EmployeeA.LastName?

Yes. Use a Template Column:

<asp:TemplateField HeaderText="EmployeeA">
<ItemTemplate>
<%#eval("EmployeeA.LastName") %>
</ItemTemplate>
/asp:TemplateField>
