Question

I have a Grid View and I am checking some permission on the Grid View

If the user don’t have permission. I am making the column invisible.

    Grid View.Column[9].visible = false; //Zero based index so column 10 will be invisible.

The GridView doesn’t use GridView’s header (because of a specific
styling issue) but a separate html table.

the header is defined as follows

<tr>
            <td width="5%" class="hier-header">Column 1</td>
            <td width="10%"  class="hier-header"> Column 2 </td>
            <td width="10%"  class="hier-header"> Column 3</td>
            <td width="10%"  class="hier-header"> Column 4</td>
            <td width="5%"   class="hier-header"> Column 5</td>
            <td width="5%"   class="hier-header"> Column 6</td>
            <td width="10%"  class="hier-header"> Column 7 </td>
            <td width="15%"  class="hier-header"> Column 8 </td>
            <td width="5%"   class="hier-header"> Column 9 </td>
            <td width="5%"   class="hier-header"> Column 10 </td>
            <td width="5%"   class="hier-header"> Column 11</td>
            <td width="5%"   class="hier-header">Column 12</td>
            <td width="5%"   class="hier-header">Column 13</td>
    </tr>

In the above code I should make Column 10 not to show up. Is this doable?

Answer 1

Add a runat="server" attribute to the <td> for Column 10 and give it an ID (like id="column10Header"). Then you can set its Visible property to false.
