I am binding a datagrid to a dataset but there are some columns I don't want show in the dataset, what is the easiest way of removing these columns yet still binding to that dataset?

Hi

You can try using GridColumnStyles property to add or remove a column

Steps to do that

1. Create a reference for DataGridTableStyl

Dim tableStyle As New DataGridTableStyle(

2. Create a DataGridTextBoxColumn or DataGridBoolColumn, which is going to represent the column (choose the first one if we are going to display a textbox, or if check box is to be displayed use the second one

Dim Colu As New DataGridTextBoxColum
Colu.MappingName = "<filed name in the data table>
Colu.HeaderText = "Text to be displed in the header
Colu.Width = 3
tableStyle.GridColumnStyles.Add(colu

3. Link this add all the column, the columns will get populated in the same order added to the tablestyle
4. Clear the TablesStyles property of the datagri

datagrid1.TableStyles.Clear(

5. Add the tablestyle object tot he Tablestyles of the datagrid

datagrid1.TableStyles.Add(tableStyle

After this you will be getting all ur required fields. A new column can also be added to the datagrid by adding a column to the datatable and defining the datatablestyle

I hope i made it very clear. Feel free to contact me
