Question

Hi I have a grid view which is dynamically generated via C# using a DataSet.
I’m passing a row ID field (from the database) to the grid view, as this is required when a user clicks to edit a records. However I don’t want the user to be able to view the column.
I have tried the following but it doesn’t seem to work? Could anyone suggest a way to hide the column or a better way of attaching the information to the grid view row so it can be used at a later stage.
c#

        DataColumn ColImplantCustomerDetailsID = new DataColumn();
        ColImplantCustomerDetailsID.ColumnName = "Implant ID";
        ColImplantCustomerDetailsID.DataType = typeof(int);
        ColImplantCustomerDetailsID.Visable = false; <-- visable doens't work here.

DataColumn doesn’t have a ‘Visable’ property. Heck, it doesn’t have a ‘Visible’ property either.

Use this before you bind

gridviewNameHere.Columns[index].Visible = false;

You can make it visible again on one of your event handlers.
