[RESOLVED] how to hide unbounded columns in a datagrid

[VBKNIGHT]

guys how can i hide unbounded columns in a datagrid? TIA

Private Sub ingrid_ItemDataBound(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.Web.UI.WebControls.DataGridItemEventArgs) Handles ingrid.ItemDataBound
e.Item.Cells(7).Visible = False
End

or use this
DataGrid1.Columns(1).Visible = Not (DataGrid1.Columns(1).Visible)
I hope one of them will work well.

thanks for replying.

Private Sub ingrid_ItemDataBound(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.Web.UI.WebControls.DataGridItemEventArgs) Handles ingrid.ItemDataBound
e.Item.Cells(7).Visible = False
End

[this code will hide just the header item selected and not the entire column will result in unmatched header and row. ]


or use this
DataGrid1.Columns(1).Visible = Not (DataGrid1.Columns(1).Visible)
[this code works only with bounded columns and will return index error if used. ]


I hope one of them will work well.

Use visibility options in both of events

Private Sub ingrid_ItemDataBound(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.Web.UI.WebControls.DataGridItemEventArgs) Handles ingrid.ItemDataBound
e.Item.Cells(7).Visible = False
Select Case e.Item.ItemType
Case ListItemType.Header
e.Item.Cells(7).Visible = False

Case ListItemType.Item
e.Item.Cells(7).Visible = False
Case ListItemType.AlternatingItem
e.Item.Cells(7).Visible = False

End


and in itemcreated event also

Private Sub ingrid_ItemCreated(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.Web.UI.WebControls.DataGridItemEventArgs) Handles ingrid.ItemCreated

Select Case e.Item.ItemType
Case ListItemType.Header
e.Item.Cells(7).Visible = False

Case ListItemType.Item
e.Item.Cells(7).Visible = False
Case ListItemType.AlternatingItem
e.Item.Cells(7).Visible = False
End Select
End Sub

Select Case e.Item.ItemType
   Case ListItemType.Header
      e.Item.Cells(7).Visible = False
   Case ListItemType.Item
      e.Item.Cells(7).Visible = False
   Case ListItemType.AlternatingItem
      e.Item.Cells(7).Visible = False
End Select

That can be replaced with:

e.Item.Cells(7).Visible = False

Alternatively, if you only want to show the bound columns, then do:

MyDataGrid.AutoGenerateColumns = False

Then regardless of how many columns there are in the datasource, only the bound columns you set up get shown.
