In response to a forum question about how to list the process templates on the server, Tony Edwards, a developer on Work Item Tracking, posted the following code snippet showing how to do it. The TeamFoundationServer object provides a number of services, including one for dealing with process templates.
Here is a simple console program to list the templates. IProcessTemplate has members that return XML - you could bind that to the grid. You would invoke the sample below as follows: templateheaders http://<your_server>:8080 using System;using System.Collections.Generic;using System.Text;using Microsoft.TeamFoundation.Server;using Microsoft.TeamFoundation.Client; namespace TemplateHeaders{ class Program { static void Main(string[] args) { TeamFoundationServer tfs = new TeamFoundationServer(args[0]); IProcessTemplates templates = (IProcessTemplates) tfs.GetService(typeof(IProcessTemplates)); TemplateHeader [] headers = templates.TemplateHeaders(); foreach (TemplateHeader header in headers) { Console.WriteLine(header.Name); } } }}

If you haven't built a code sample before, you can find instructions on adding the TFS assemblies to the .NET tab in VS here.
