how to set a Datagrid column(x).visible = false (resolved)

depending on a session variable how can i set a column to visible?

this is what i tried.

VB Code:

If Session("YES_VC") = "Yes" Then
            Me.dbgMemberInfo.Columns(7).Visible = True
        Else
            Me.dbgMemberInfo.Columns(7).Visible = False
        End If

Does Session("YES_VC") actually contain the value 'yes'? Set a breakpoint and check its value.

the session is empty and will be 99% of the time.

i was trying to set the columns for the wrong grid...

--- this is why it's a good idea to get up and walk around from time to time
