Hi all,
           I am not Able to hide Autogenarated Column at runtime.

Please any body help me.

I have Three Auto generated Column Product_Id,Product_Name,Price and want to hide Product_Id column at run time when Click Edit Link Button.

            My code:-----

Ctype(e.Item.Cells(3).Controls(0), TextBox).visible = False

            Thows an error.

But it is working fine in UpdateCommandColumn

Dim PId as String = & _
 Ctype(e.Item.Cells(3).Controls(0), TextBox).Text

How can I Trap that Event to Hide the control or Hide entire Column.

   Wating for reply.

Thanks in Advance

To my knowledge you can't hide autogenerated columns, my suggestion is when you want to modify any of the columns, width, header, visible, then set autogenerate columns to false, and then add the columns manually

Hi There,
     There is solution in datagrid itself. You first try to find out which column u wish to hide. Then add line to code
datagrid1.columns(columnnumber).visible=false

I guess that this will solve your problem.

this will not work :
 datagrid1.columns(columnnumber).visible=false

instead you have to bind the ItemDataBound event and using the DataGridItemEventArgs item to hide the dynamic column. for eg :

private void dg_ItemDataBound(object sender, System.Web.UI.WebControls.DataGridItemEventArgs e)
{
    e.Item.Cells[3].Visible = false;
}
