Hiding columns in GridView Control

[Guest]

Hi,
I have binded a dataset to a gridview control at run time.
I'm fetching 5 columns from the database.
But while displaying it on the screen i want to show only 3 columns.
I tried with gridview.columns(i).visible property,but it did't work.

Thanks in advance

Are you adding the columns your self or using autoGenerate?

Hi,
Thanks for the response.
I DID NOT ADD ANY COLUMNS TO THE GRID VIEW AT DESIGN TIME OR AT RUN TIME.
In the codebehind i'm just setting the datasource of the grid view as
dataset which contains 5 columns of data.I require all 5 columns of data ,
but while displaying it i want to hide some columns.

Thanks
Srinivas

You can use the technique in this article...

Hi Winista
Thanks for the URL.
But i'm using ASP.net gridview.
The code that;s given in that url does't fit for it.

Thanks

The same approach works for GridView. GridView also has RowDataBound and
RowCreated events and you will use the same technique to remove the cell
from row.

you can write this code in RowCreated Event of Gridview, assuming you want to hide first column

e.Row.Cells[1].Visible = false;
