How to hide gridview but still access?

Hello,

I know that when you hide a control is asp.net that you cannot access it. Is there a way of hiding it as far as a panel? Can I put it in a panel but size the panel to 1x1? Or in a div and hide it?

Thanks

Hey.
Have you tried?

Access it where? Visible=false and you can still access it in code behind with no issues.
