Question

We have a GridView that bind to some data and it look like this:

RowNumber        Id                   Desc
-------------------------------------------
   1                20                  Desc1   
   2                30                  Desc2   
   3                40                  Desc3   
   4                50                  Desc4   

I create RowNumber using this code:

<asp:TemplateField HeaderText="">
    <ItemTemplate>
        <asp:Label ID="lblSlNo" runat="server" Text='<% #Container.DataItemIndex + 1 %>' />
    </ItemTemplate>
    <HeaderStyle HorizontalAlign="Center" />
    <ItemStyle HorizontalAlign="Center" />
</asp:TemplateField>

So considering that during data binding, I don’t want show second row but I want keep RowNumber for it. The data should show like this:

RowNumber        Id                   Desc
-------------------------------------------
   1                20                  Desc1   
   3                40                  Desc3   
   4                50                  Desc4   

How I can prevent a row add to GridView during Databinding?

Answer 1

Try this:

void GridView_RowDataBound(Object sender, GridViewRowEventArgs e)
{
    if (row.RowType == DataControlRowType.DataRow){
        e.Row.Visible = SomeCondition;
    }
}

Where someCondition is your checking.
